Berlin, March 8, 2024—The Committee to Protect Journalists and more than 100 journalists and media leaders sent an open letter to senior British police officers and lawmakers on Friday, International Women’s Day, calling on them to break the cycle of online violence and abuse against women working in journalism, which risks sidelining them from the profession, and to secure a safer future for women in the media.

In the letter, the signatories made four recommendations to the police:

• to improve the recording of crimes against journalists
• to provide national-level guidance for police on online violence against journalists and training on the gendered nature of online violence
• to regularly report back to the National Committee for the Safety of Journalists
• to improve dialogue between police and the journalism industry
