The majority of women journalists across the world face online abuse and threats, according to a recent study, and 25 percent of respondents have received threats of physical abuse, including death threats.
These are some of the findings of The Chilling: Global trends in online violence against women journalists. Commissioned by Unesco, the report relied on research by the International Center for Journalists and the University of Sheffield. Over a period of three years, it surveyed over 1,000 journalists in 15 countries.
