The short doc explores the threats and gender violence towards Mexican female journalists. Mexico is one of the most dangerous countries in which to practice journalism: 131 reporters have been assassinated since 2000. Within this context, female journalists face a double challenge: in the first place, working in a country with a high level of hostility towards this profession and, secondly, the state and situation of their gender in a country riddled with femicides. Through a series of six interviews with female Mexican journalists, the topics investigated are discrimination, digital and workplace violence and harassment, and dangerous environments for the press. This short doc is a byproduct of a research fellowship.
