ARTICLE 19 has published a briefing in collaboration with the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) looking into the toxic and often violent space women journalists reporting on Iran inhabit. In March 2021, ARTICLE 19 interviewed a number of women journalists from the Iranian diaspora who cover Iran for various media outlets and who face increased and concerning levels of online harassment and abuse as a result of their work. We hope this brief can be a path for further research for those communities experiencing disproportionate and gendered abuse and violence online.
