Nationalism and Ethnicism Threatens
the Work of Women Journalists in Syria
Evin Youssef - Syria
In Syria, female journalists from ethnic minorities face smear campaigns,
death threats, and even calls for arrest
simply for doing their jobs. Through
the story of Lamar Arkandy, targeted
for her Kurdish identity after reporting
on female slaves, this report reveals
how ethnic nationalism fuels online
abuse, jeopardizes journalists’ safety,
undermines press freedom, and silences women’s voices in conflict zones.
