Women Reporting War

Women Reporting War: "A high number of women war reporters have suffered physical attack or intimidation while covering conflicts, according to a new survey.


More than half of those who responded to the poll by the International News Safety Institute (INSI) reported sexual harassment and a significant number said they had experienced sexual abuse.


Several of the women called for self-defence to be made an intrinsic part of safety training. Requests were also made for female trainers on Hostile Environment training courses."
