"It is crucial that any initiatives focussing on the safety of women journalists exist within the broader framework of conversations aimed at meeting the specific targets of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 5 to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls, and recognize that much of the violence that women journalists face stems from more deeply rooted gender-based discrimination and inequality in the media industry, and society at large."
