Share A training workshop for security forces on freedom of expression and the safety of journalists was organized from 12 to 14 April 2021 by the National Union of Somali Journalists (NUSOJ) with support from UNESCO through its Multi-Donor Programme on Freedom of Expression and Safety of Journalists (MDP), and in close collaboration with the Somali National Commission for UNESCO. The two-day training aimed at strengthening the capacities of participants to promote and uphold the fundamental right to freedom of expression, including the safety of journalists, in the exercise of their profession and particularly in the context of electoral processes. It also enhanced mutual and cordial professional relationships between security forces and journalists to create a more enabling environment for freedom of expression. This workshop further instilled in participants a better understanding of the role and power-check function of journalists in democratic societies, as well as of the importance of ensuring the safety of journalists, including media workers and social media producers in Somalia.
