Reporting on
gender-based violence?

Responsible reporting matters. We encourage media professionals to use trauma-informed, strengths-based and accurate language that protects victim-survivors, avoids sensationalism and helps shift public understanding of gender-based violence without reinforcing harmful myths or stereotypes.
