Dangerous Jobs

Journalists

Journalists go out to the streets to explore and report what is happening.

 They can face violence and intimidation for exercising their fundamental right to freedom of expression. The range of threats they are confronted to include murder, kidnapping, hostage-taking, offline and online harassment, intimidation, enforced disappearances, arbitrary detention and torture.

Unfortunately, in this profession, the stories covered may result in kidnapping, assault and even death.
