On 2 November, the NUJ will host a webinar to mark the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists.
The union will launch a short safety film featuring members sharing moving testimony about abuse, harassment and intimidation encountered simply for doing their jobs.
We’ll also highlight a new mobile safety toolkit to help journalists protect themselves and their sources and technological ways to secure communications. The toolkit covers physical safety, information security, mental health care, health and safety at work and gives advice on how to take action against abuse on social media platforms.
Speakers include Jeremy Dear, IFJ deputy general secretary who will share work underway, including the IFJ’s call for a UN Convention on the safety and security of journalists.
Jim Boumelha, NUJ NEC member and IFJ treasurer will discuss Israel's systemic targeting of journalists in Palestine and update on a recent submission to the International Criminal Court.
Michelle Stanistreet, NUJ general secretary, will update members on the NUJ's campaigning for the safety and protection of all journalists.
Abuse should never be part of the job. Join us on 2 November as we stand in solidarity with colleagues and call for an end to impunity.
