About

Through academic research, education, and advocacy, the Journalism Initiative on Gender Peace and Security upholds justice, equity, and rigor in reporting on a world in crisis.

Using a feminist lens, we deliver cutting-edge journalistic education for newsrooms and students, create curriculum, multi-lingual ethics tools for reporters on-the-go, and contribute gender-informed analysis of international peace and security, helping human rights defenders, journalists, students, and policymakers create lasting change. We advocate for press freedom, with an emphasis on women and marginalized journalists facing job insecurity, intimidation, and threats.

The Journalism Initiative on Gender Peace and Security is run by the Visiting Global Associate at the Institute for Women's Leadership and the Visiting Assistant Professor of Media Ethics and Journalism at Rutgers Global.
