Ressa</p> </blockquote> <p>The women journalists who took part in the research said they had been subjected to a wide range of online violence, including threats of sexual assault and physical violence, abusive language, harassing private messages, threats to damage their professional or personal reputations, digital security attacks, misrepresentation via manipulated images and financial threats.<br> <br> The Chilling illuminates the evolving challenges faced by women journalists dealing with prolific and/or sustained online violence around the world, including the ways that disinformation and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic deepen the problem. It also pays careful attention to the nature of intersectional abuse – for example, where racism and bigotry overlap with misogyny as features of online attacks.<br> <br> <strong>The full study includes the following:</strong></p> <ul> <li>35 key findings that point to the need for responses to online violence to be strengthened in technological sophistication and collaborative coordination</li> <li>106 recommendations for action tailored for intergovernmental organizations, States, Big Tech, the news industry, legal and judicial actors, and civil society</li> <li>A 25-step tool for developing online violence responses that respect freedom of expression</li> <li>Analysis of 10 global trends in gender-based online violence</li> <li>A taxonomy of 12 globally recognizable types and methods of attack to prepare for</li> <li>A detailed assessment of international legal frameworks for addressing gender-based online violence against women journalists, as the UN recasts its decade-old Plan of Action for the Safety of Journalists</li> </ul> <h3><br> <strong>Top findings from the 2020 global survey</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Nearly three in four women respondents (73%) said they had experienced online violence.</li> <li>Threats of physical (25%) and sexual violence (18%) plagued the women journalists surveyed.</li> <li>One in five women respondents (20%) said they had been attacked or abused offline in incidents seeded online.</li> <li>The mental health impacts of online violence were the most frequently identified (26%) consequence. Twelve percent of respondents said they had sought medical or psychological help due to the effects of online violence, and 11% said they had taken days off work as a result.</li> <li>Almost half (48%) of the women reported being harassed with unwanted private messages.</li> <li>The story theme most often identified in association with increased attacks was gender (47%), followed by politics and elections (44%), and human rights and social policy (31%).</li> <li>Forty-one percent of women respondents said they had been the targets of online attacks that appeared to be linked to orchestrated disinformation campaigns.</li> <li>Political actors were the second most frequently noted sources (37%) of attacks and abuse after “anonymous or unknown attackers” (57%).</li> <li>Facebook was rated the least safe of the top five platforms or apps used by participants, with nearly double the number of respondents describing Facebook as “very unsafe” compared to Twitter. It also attracted disproportionately higher rates of incident reporting among the respondents (39% compared to Twitter’s 26%).</li> <li>Only 25% of respondents reported incidents of online violence to their employers. The top responses they said they received were: no response (10%) and advice like “grow a thicker skin” or “toughen up” (9%). Two percent said they were asked what they did to provoke the attack.</li> <li>The women journalists surveyed most frequently indicated (30%) that they respond to the online violence they experience by self-censoring on social media. Twenty percent described how they withdrew from all online interaction, and 18% specifically avoided audience engagement.</li> <li>Online violence significantly impacts the employment and productivity of the women respondents. In particular, 11% reported missing work, 38% retreated from visibility (e.g. by asking to be taken off air and retreating behind pseudonyms online), 4% quit their jobs, and 2% even abandoned journalism altogether.<br>   <p><strong>For inquiries, please contact:</strong></p> <p>ICFJ: Dr. Julie Posetti (jposetti@icfj.org) or Fatima Bahja (fbahja@icfj.org)</p> <p>UNESCO: Saorla McCabe (s.mccabe@unesco.org) or Theresa Chorbacher (t.chorbacher@unesco.org)</p> <p>Note: If you've found this content distressing or difficult to discuss, you're not alone.
