Thank you PUP Journalism Guild for having @iawrtPH. It’s both an honor and duty to share the hardships many women journalists experience not to scare students away from this profession but to find ways on how we can push our advocacy further for a safe workplace.
Hence, all these contribute to the spiral of silence. These attacks are discussed in hushes among our ranks, even when they are happening along the corridors of power. This has to stop.
