The forum was rolled out in conjunction with the global observance of International Women Human Rights Defenders Day.

Journalists and women’s organizations were invited to share their experiences to better inform the CHR in its development of initiatives that intersect media safety, gender rights, and the welfare of human rights defenders.
“Women journalists document, expose, and amplify truths even when doing so invites retaliation,” the CHR said in a statement.
