A global survey of 901 journalists from 125 countries found that female journalists across the world are under unprecedented levels of attack. The UN says only 11% of female journalists went to the police. Ms Devlin points out that female journalists suffer more abuse for reporting on paramilitary groups than their male counterparts. The report’s authors make 28 sensible recommendations, from increased global cooperation to rapid response units run by social media platforms. At least a third of female journalists, say the UN, reported self-censorship.
