“The newly-founded Coalition for Women in Journalism started offering specialist mentoring in March 2017 to women who are struggling in the workplace. They may experience threats and harassment or underpayment and lack of promotion prospects. By October 2017 the Coalition, founded by Kiran Nazish, had such a strong demand that they ran out of mentors in Belgium and Germany and put out a public appeal for more experienced female journalists to join them.”
