Was lovely to join RSF’s UK bureau for the London #RSFIndex launch this #WorldPressFreedomDay . Many thanks to Foreign Press Association in London for hosting, and all of the members of our fantastic all-woman panel: Deborah Bonetti, Fiona O'Brien, Alex Crawford, Vanessa Tsehaye & Jessie Lau.

Growing red. The alarms grow louder but there’s little action to safeguard and support journalists. Bravo RSF and the strong women here for continuing to highlight and push for action Deborah Bonetti Fiona O'Brien Rebecca Vincent Vanessa Tsehaye Jessie Lau

The best thing about organising a panel is you get to pick brilliant people to do it :-) Thank you Jessie Lau Alex Crawford Deborah Bonetti Rebecca Vincent Vanessa Tsehaye for sharing your knowledge and passion today. Let's hope next year there is a bit less red on the map.
