Description: JiG Gender Based Violence Handbook Online Version
The Journalism Initiative on Gender-Based Violence (JiG) works to shift the global narrative toward better reporting on violence against women.
Gender-based violence happens in every country. A third of women globally will experience violence, and those rates increase for women with intersecting vulnerabilities. Harmful gender stereotypes in the media reduce accountability and create the impression that gender-based violence is normal and permissible. The Journalism Initiative on Gender-Based Violence works with the media, Schools of Journalism, and independent journalists to shift this narrative, strengthen reporting, and end gender-based violence
Our work has four thematic objectives: -Increase the global standard of reporting on gender-based violence to reduce its prevalence globally
