Online Harassment: Another hindrance to Female Journalists’ career path

August 2021, while being a reporter at a local community media station, which I had just joined, was when I experienced harassment from the Managing Editor,” Joy recalls the torrent of harassment directed to her. According to her, the managing editor would call her on phone imposing flirtatious conversations, requesting sexual favors, and forcing unwanted sexualization on her. The perpetrator exacerbated the online harassment with physical sexual harassment at the workplace. “I was subjected to constant sexual harassment and unwanted advances. The editor would forcefully kiss me and to make matters worse, at times he would do it in the presence of my colleagues!” she says. “The harassment had long been an unfortunate and infuriating part of doing my job” she adds.
