This event is the first in a series of activities in a joint initiative by the OSCE PA and the RFoM in advancing the safety of female journalists online. Building on the fundamental role parliamentarians have in ensuring that media freedom and freedom of expression is enabled for all, the initiative aims at engaging Members in a result-oriented debate to support regulatory processes in this area.

The event will aim to:

  • Provide an opportunity to elaborate on main legal and policy concepts, initiatives and good practices pertaining to the safety of female journalists online, including those related to the safety of journalists in times of crises and conflicts, building on a questionnaire on the safety of female journalists online that was shared with Members of the Assembly prior to the event;
  • Provide a platform for parliamentarians to share particular concerns and challenges faced in ensuring safe online spaces to female journalists in their countries and, together with experts, elaborate on how national parliaments can work to effectively address such challenges;
  • Raise awareness among parliamentarians of OSCE pS on existing OSCE tools in this field, including on the RFoM’s Resource Guide on SOFJO.
