Project profile — Reporting from the Front Lines of Humanitarian Crises - 2021 to 2024

June 2021 - This project aims to provide an inside view, more field and gender perspectives from the front lines of global humanitarian crises, and encourage more representative media coverage on gender issues. Project activities include: (1) amplifying the voices and stories of women and girls in humanitarian contexts in mainstream media coverage; (2) conducting field reporting on mass displacement and refugee issues; and (3) analyzing aid policy to inform effective and accountable crisis prevention and response. The New Humanitarian implements this project. It is a non-profit organization whose mission is to put independent journalism at the service of the millions of people affected by humanitarian crises.

The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) promoted the advancement of women and girls in humanitarian settings; (2) improved documentation of abuses, and failure to protect women and girls; (3) strengthened transparency, data collection, and analysis regarding humanitarian responses; and (4) increased knowledge of the root causes of displacement and refugee issues worldwide. The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated, and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
