A hand-drawn watercolor editorial illustration depicting a woman journalist seen from behind, wearing a blue vest labeled "PRESS" and holding a microphone. She stands in a smoky, chaotic war zone with military helicopters flying in the background and colorful explosion bursts to the right. Behind her, two soldiers in olive and camouflage uniforms appear to be grabbing or approaching her. A speech bubble in the upper right reads: "For women war reporters, the battlefield has two frontlines." The illustration is by #AnupamaBijur, a #NWMI member and conveys the dual threats — combat and gender-based violence — faced by women in conflict journalism. Anupama does a monthly feature for #NWMI called #InkSights which is commentary on media, gender and their intersections
For women war reporters, the battlefield has two frontlines.
When you read a report on the US-Israel’s war on Iran...look at the byline. If it’s written by a woman, read the report knowing women journalists covering conflict zones face two kinds of dangers.

Illustrated poster showing a woman seated behind a laptop, raising her hands to shield her face as large gray, abstract shapes loom over her. Handwritten text reads “AI is coming for our jobs,” with the word “women” added in red over “our,” and a header above says “AI-powered & technology-facilitated violence against women on the rise.” The image uses dark tech-themed borders to suggest digital threat and pressure.
Doxing, Deepfakes and Digital Harassment in this month's InkSights by Anupama Bijur
"Most conversations around AI so far have been its impending threat to jobs. But a disturbing crisis is unfolding – AI-powered and technology-facilitated violence against women."

Monthly #InkSights illustration by #NWMI member #AnupamaBijur, titled #GameOfBlokes Illustration shows a chess-board like surface in which journalists are shaped like chess pieces, colour coded blue for men and red for women. A larger-than-life hand emerges from out of the frame in the right to move one of the red chess pieces. The illustration is a commentary on the exclusion of women journalists from the recent press conference by #Taliban along with the Indian union government, in #NewDelhi.
A Game of Blokes
Women journalists were excluded from the Taliban press conference in Delhi. Proving again that it’s not easy for women to be visible and have a voice in the media.

Her father, while mourning her, publicly praised her for upholding the principle of “oruvanukku oruthi”, a phrase that goes far beyond monogamy.

Instead of focusing on the harassment that drove her to end her life, parts of the Tamil media have fixated on a voice note she left her father. In it, she reportedly says she couldn’t imagine living with another man after having lived with one...

NWMI's monthly #InkSights feature is this time about dowry deaths and misplaced notions of honour. Image is an illustration that shows a woman hiding her face, and a man tying a noose around her neck in a way that looks like the standard hindu marriage ritual of mangalsutra.

#InkSights #GenderEquality #Media
The twin engines of the manosphere and ‘momosphere’, spreading through viral, seemingly harmless social media content and fueled by algorithms, pose a major threat to the hard-won gains of the long feminist struggle for equal rights.
