So proud to have been a part of this extensive (No, MOST extensive) research on how to and how not to report on sexual violence.

Download a copy, it's most helpful. @UNESCO @bournemouthuni

Some research is fun. Some not. The MAAR study, which took two years of our lives @BournemouthUni, was *not* fun. But it's among the most meaningful work we've done. And the most gruelling. @einarthorsen @UNESCO @UNESCOUK

This work would not have been possible without all of our many project partners, our four research coordinators, our 21 research assistants, and all the journalists across India who invested time in answering our questions. This has been a genuine collaborative effort. Thank you!

The report also provides five sets of guidelines that can be absorbed into routine newswork. This resource can be used to help inform actions in relation to our recommendations, eg relating to development of institutional guidelines, training materials, and educational curricula.
