A new initiative has been launched to facilitate establishment of a collaborative national safety mechanism to combat impunity of crimes against journalists and strengthening a prevention, prosecution and protection regime for media practitioners in Pakistan, including online journalism practitioners. The Pakistan Journalists Safety Coalition (PJSC) was established in Islamabad on August 7, 2019 with the aim of becoming the leading national platform advocating for a national agenda on safety of journalists and other media workers and strengthening freedom of expression and free media in Pakistan in line with UN Sustainable Development Goal #16 and the UN Plan of Action Against Impunity and Issues of Safety.
