Global Journalist Security draws from cutting edge civilian and military practices to offer journalists, human rights defenders and others the best possible training to help them navigate the unique challenges of today's changing world. Unlike previously available security training that has drawn almost exclusively from military protocols, our curriculum covers avoiding and deterring sexual assault, securing digital information and communications, safely covering organized crime and other violent actors, along with civil unrest, combat hazards, emergency first-aid and trauma awareness as well as emotional self-care training. Our sexual assault, self-defense and self-care teams are led by women. GJS is comprised of veteran journalists, civilian as well as military security professionals, and press freedom advocates experienced operating in repressive environments.
