To celebrate the #WomensHistoryMonth we are back with #HerstorywithCFWIJ! Today we celebrate six more amazing women voices in journalism. Some of whom paved the way, and others who are making them proud! (1/8) First, let's go to #Canada and remember #EllaCoraHind! A journalist, an activist, and a suffragist. She was turned down for a position as a journalist #ManitobaFreePress, because of being an inexperienced woman journalist. Ella proved them wrong! #HerstorywithCFWIJ (2/8)

#CFWIJ joined Pakistani #womenjournos in condemning the vicious harassment they face online. Attacks against them in digital spaces are a despicable attempt at silencing freedom of the press. Authorities must take concrete steps to end cyber harassment of women journalists.

#CFWIJ's thoughts go out to all the victims of the #BeirutBlast. We are following this tragic incident with concern and extending our solidarity to #womenjournalists working #ontheground.

Read our statement: bit.ly/2ETkh8E 1. #BeirutBlast left at least 100 dead and 4,000 injured, as reported by @RedCrossLebanon. #Lebanon was already in an economic crisis and hospitals were struggling amid #Covid19.

(1/4) #Hungary: State of press freedom deteriorates after over 70 journalists from @indexhu resign to protest editor-in-chief Szabolcs Dull’s unfair dismissal. CFWIJ monitors the situation with immense concern and condemns the arbitrary actions against the press. (2/4) On July 24, @indexhu staff resigned enmasse calling it “the end of an era”. They cited outside pressure & warned about the decline of independent reporting. The independent news outlet remains one of #Hungary's most-read & trusted news sources for the past 20 years.
