“In response to repeated police attacks on press workers carrying out their jobs, the Buenos Aires Press Union (SiPreBA), a member of the Argentine Federation of Press Workers (FATPREN), with support from the International Federation of Journalists and the Democracy at Work program, has acquired personal protective equipment to distribute to self-managed media outlets and make available to freelance journalists.
This initiative aims to address the alarming situation faced by media workers in Argentina, who are frequently assaulted by security forces, obstructing their work and in some cases causing injuries that have endangered journalists’ lives.”
