Intensified attacks, new Defences: developments in the fight to protect journalists and end impunity

Intensified attacks, new Defences: developments in the fight to protect journalists and end impunity

UNESCO

The period between 2014 through the end of 2018 has seen 495 journalists killed,  according to  UNESCO  data,  which represents an  18%  increase in the number of killings as compared to the preceding 5-year period (2009-2013). Based on the number of killings,  the most dangerous regions for journalists are the Arab States region, the Latin America and Caribbean region and the Asia and the Pacific region. Across all regions, the vast majority of killings were of local journalists, rather than foreign reporters. The five-year period saw an inversion in the proportion of journalists being killed outside of conflict zones. While in  2014  a  majority of journalist killings occurred in conflict regions,  in  2017  and  2018  more killings  (55%  in both years)  occurred outside conflict regions. This trend reflects the changing nature of violence against journalists, who were increasingly silenced for reporting on issues of corruption,  crime and politics. Although the vast majority of journalists killed are men, killings of women journalists almost doubled relative to the previous  5-year  period  (24 female journalists were killed in 2009-2013, compared to 46 in 2014-2018).

A comparative analysis of social media messaging by African-centred LGBT refugee NGOs

January 12, 2020

Approximately 40 percent of countries categorize homosexuality as illegal. However, refugee status is still granted largely on the basis of the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, which found that a refugee is a person who has a ‘well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion’. On that basis, few countries allow sexual orientation as grounds for refugee status. Owing to the extraordinary odds of gaining successful refugee status and because lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) asylum seekers are often socially isolated in their search for refugee status, there is a heightened need for non-government organization support networks for these individuals. This research explores social media from four LGBT refugee organizations, largely focused on Africa, to ascertain where the differences and similarities reside in communicating with community members, sharing information, building community and encouraging action.
