Audrey AzoulayAs part of efforts to hold perpetrators of violence against journalists and media outlets accountable, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), African Union (AU) bodies and other media partners have launched a Digital Platform For Safety Of Journalists in Africa. Over the years, journalists and media workers in Africa have been victims of harassment, torture, intimidation, battery and threat to life while some have even been murdered in the course of discharging their professional duties. The inability to address these challenges in Africa has led to continued impunity on crimes committed against journalists and other media workers.
