Pakistani reporter Kiran Nazish’s coalition has helped thousands of women being attacked or detained for their work. But, she warns, the situation has reached a crisis point
For years, as Kiran Nazish worked as a journalist in conflict zones around the world, she watched the female reporters around her struggling against the odds to build their careers, get support and stay safe.
In Mexico, female journalists told Nazish that they had been blackmailed by their bosses to cooperate sexually or face demotion. While working on the frontline in conflict zones Nazish was asked by male colleagues: “Why are you here? Go back to Pakistan.”
