About This Session

Women investigative journalists face unique challenges — no matter where they’re based. This session brings together newsroom voices from West Africa, Asia, the Balkans and Latin America to explore how the political and social context influences their work and investigations. Panelists share their unique experiences working in conflict zones, covering human rights abuses, and challenging power structures.
