Last night, I had the privilege of co-hosting International Women’s Media Foundation’s Courage Awards with
@willowbay and
@gelilapuck . It was an honor for us to celebrate these extraordinary journalists and their commitment to press freedom. We were all moved by their powerful sense of purpose, and I encourage you to explore
@lchooljian ’s groundbreaking reporting and Gulchehra Hoja’s
A Stone Is Most Precious Where it Belongs: A Memoir of Uyghur Exile, Hope, and Survival.
This year marks the 35th Anniversary of IWMF. Their work allows women journalists to report safely from around the world, ensuring stories that would have otherwise gone underreported become part of the global conversation.
In 2024, journalists are enduring more risks than ever, including physical and online violence, state-sponsored threats, armed conflicts, and natural disasters. These challenges are disproportionately affecting women journalists.
Preserving and protecting women’s perspective on global issues is essential to press freedom and a democratic society. I invite you to learn more about
@theiwmf ’s bold and ambitious mission.🔗 in bio
