Overall, over the past decade, a journalist has been killed on average every four days. The year 2019 showed the lowest death toll recorded by UNESCO in the last decade with 57 deaths.

Despite these positive developments, journalism remains a dangerous profession. The threats faced by journalists are many and wide-ranging. Casualties related to countries experiencing armed conflict have declined. Fatal attacks against journalists covering stories related to corruption, human rights violations, environmental crimes, trafficking, and political wrongdoing have risen in a number of other countries.

In 2019, the highest number of fatal attacks occurred in the Latin America and the Caribbean region, representing 40% of the total killings registered worldwide, followed by the Asia and the Pacific region with 26% of killings.

While there are significantly fewer women journalists among the victims of fatal attacks, they are particularly targeted by offline and online gender-based attacks putting their safety at risk – these attacks can range from harassment, trolling and doxxing to physical and sexual assault.

Every two years, the awareness raising campaign for the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists coincides with the findings of the Director-General’s Report on the current state of global and regional impunity. Check out the multimedia and social media campaign below.
