Women Press Freedom condemns the unacceptable violation of press rights experienced by RTÉ journalist Yvonne Murray during her live broadcast from Georgia ahead of the U.S. elections.

Damiana Veleva was obstructed by men at a polling station in Dolno Osenovo, facing threats to seize her phone. Diyana Zhelyazkova was threatened by Mayor Ismail Ibryam while reporting on voting violations in Vulnari. Zdravka Maslyankova encountered threats from a candidate's son in Veliko Tarnovo after probing into vote trading.

We urge the international community to prioritize the safety of these women journalists, advocate for press freedom in Afghanistan and offer urgent support to protect their lives.

WPF welcomes the arrest of a man suspected to be Rodriguez's killer, but we demand that the authorities in the Philippines ensure swift justice for the slain journalist and safety of those working to report the truth. A fair probe and accountability in this case is inevitable.

We are deeply concerned about the lack of safety for journalists, who often work without adequate protection.

Women Press Freedom strongly denounces the orchestrated smear campaign and attack on Blerjana Bino, Director of the Centre for Science and Innovation for Development (SciDev), and Osservatorio Balkani Caucaso Transeuropa (OBCT) by the pro-government online tabloid "prapaskena".

WPF demands accountability for those responsible and insists that no journalist should face violence for doing their job.
