In a message, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he was “deeply troubled by the growing number of attacks and the culture of impunity’’ targeted at media workers around the world.
The UN chief noted that when journalists and other media workers are targeted, societies as a whole pay a price. “At a time when disinformation and mistrust of the news media is growing, a free press is essential for peace, justice, sustainable development and human rights,’’ he said. “Women are disproportionately affected, contending with sexist abuse and sexual harassment online, as well as physical sexual violence, including rape. Too often, these attacks go unpunished,’’ she said.
