Agenda
Gender-based violence stories often start from a single anecdote and very few records; people are afraid to report, there is little evidence, or datasets are often missing pieces, decentralised, and flawed. How can journalists report on the patterns of violence when it’s so difficult to access figures and get a sense of scale?
In this case study presentation, the journalists will describe methods they have used to get access to information on patterns of gender-based violence, including the many ethical challenges that come with it. They will also delve into examples structuring data from court documents, using education or religious data as support for their stories, or conducting surveys to find out from the people who have experienced the situation themselves.
