In a preliminary survey of 247 journalists in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and neighboring provinces, over 27% of female journalists said that they had been sexually harassed in varying degrees. These are figures from the report by FoJo Swedish Press Training Institute on Women in the media industry in Vietnam in 2018.
It is essential to have anti-sexual harassment mechanisms and regulations, as well as gender equality training in newsrooms. You are invited to watch the video produced by the Vietnam Women Journalists Forum (Wenet), established by the Center for Communication and Development Initiative (MDI), to support female journalists in their career.
