People living on both sides of the border of Hungary and Serbia are concerned: they want to help migrants and refugees, but they’re fed up with hearing gunfire in the woods as smugglers fight for territory. 👇

According to #ShePersisted's #MonetizingMisogyny#research, women who advocate for women's, minority or LGBTQ rights and who represent liberal values are the most vulnerable to disinformation attacks in Hungary.

@zsofia_fulop examines coverage of Roma communities in Hungary and how stereotypical media portrayals can have real life consequences. Roma media have played a key role centering their voices but have weakened under financial pressures.
Me and other @risj_oxford journalist fellows at the rally in support of Ukraine in Oxford today. I am deeply grateful to colleagues from all over the world - on this photo, from India, Nigeria, Hungary, Philippines, Finland, Brazil and Myanmar - for their solidarity 💙💛
