About Event

​Journalists for Human Rights is pleased to welcome you to our webinar discussion on the topic of “Women Journalists in Exile – Navigating Work and Life in Canada.”

​Around the globe, press freedoms are eroding and attacks on journalists are intensifying. Women journalists remain at a disproportionately greater risk of intimidation, harassment, imprisonment, and murder. Those who flee out of fear for their lives confront numerous personal and professional challenges in a new country - resettlement and refugee life, trauma and PTSD, career disruption and barriers to employment, to name just a few.

​The goal of this virtual panel is to provide a forum for exiled women journalists and media workers to discuss the challenges they face in Afghanistan, Canada and around the globe and what the future holds for them. 

​This panel is organized by Journalists for Human Rights for the “Afghan Journalists-in-Residence” Project with support from the Meta Journalism Project.
