#WPFD26@NakiyimbaGloria reflects on the realities journalists face while at work. Some have lost their lives, targeted for exposing the truth others caught in conflict & violence. Stop targeting the messengers. Journalists report what is happening
Protecting the media is everyone’s responsibility, especially during conflict.
Targeting journalists is silencing truth & the voices communities rely on. Journalists are not the enemy; they are vital defenders of peace, justice, and informed societies.
