A gathering of over 150 women journalists from multiple corners of India turned into a festival of sisterhood in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala in February this year. In keeping with its tradition of holding a national meet almost every year, the Network of Women in Media, India (NWMI) held a three-day meet from February 6 to 8, 2026.
The Network of Women in Media, India, condemns the series of attacks against women journalists across the country and demands decisive action to deal with them and to send a clear message that such behaviour will not be tolerated.
NWMI stands firmly against the campaign of personal vilification and misogynistic abuse directed at Ishani Datta Ray, and against any attempt to intimidate Anandabazar Patrika or its journalists through threats, vandalism, political pressure or organised online harassment.
The Network of Women in Media, India unequivocally condemns the brutal assault on Shaheen Khan and Nafisa Khan, both journalists with 4pm News, and demands strict action against the police personnel involved.
The final day of the 20th National Meeting of NWMI began with three breakout workshops held simultaneously for members.
