There is great irony in writing or producing a story about violence against women. Vicariously breathing in control, fear and abuse so they can exhale it out on to a page, or down the camera.

We are learning that 'boys will be boys' is not a valid excuse anymore for aggression and abuse. Our Watch celebrates the journalists, editors and advocates who go above and beyond to report on violence against women.
