This investigation reveals the gender-based discrimination, harassment, and sexual blackmail faced by female journalists in Somalia. It also highlights the absence of clear, written policies within media organizations to address violence or discrimination, as well as the lack of robust legislation criminalising sexual harassment in the country. In carrying out this investigation, we used the testimony of ten female journalists, the findings of a questionnaire, field studies, and interviews with officials from advocacy groups and trade unions.

This investigation reveals the hardships faced by cleaning ladies in hospitals across Damascus. Many work more than eight hours a day without social security registration or employment contracts, amid weak oversight by the Syrian Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor (MOSAL) of companies contracted by hospitals.

This investigation reveals how female journalists are facing online threats, which sometimes force them to keep away from their place of work or even quit journalism altogether. The reason is that there is no policy of protection, either in the media organizations where they work or from the Egyptian Journalists' Syndicate, which is supposed to provide protection for media professionals. Our investigation also highlights the shortcomings in the union’s internal investigation system and shows that there is an institutional culture that sidelines whistleblowers instead of holding to account those guilty of abuse.

The investigation reveals that divorced fathers exploit legal guardianship of children with disabilities to secure customs exempt cars in their names, triggering the automatic cancellation of the child’s 'Karama' pension, while custodial mothers have no authority to intervene even if the father is absent or neglectful.

This investigation reveals that foster children and those in alternative care families are being deprived of fundamental rights.

This investigation shows how the UNHCR fails to provide support to women suffering digital violence, since it does not classify this as a reportable form of gender-based violence, and, therefore, gives no protection to victims. The UNHCR’s latest funding shortfall has exacerbated matters, leaving women refugees and asylum-seekers who need such support at the mercy of those abusing and blackmailing them.

This investigation reveals a four-year disinformation operation using fake accounts to manipulate Moroccan public opinion and sway elections. The coordinated network attacks political rivals to benefit Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch's party while spreading false information.
