Program areas at IWMF
Training and research: the Foundation sponsors training programs. Participants in the Foundation's training programs become highly skilled journalists. They earn promotions and awards as a result of the reporting skills acquired through the Foundation's training programs and bring positive change to their newsrooms. The Foundation's reporting fellows become specialists through exposure to a wide variety of experts and they produce high-quality, in-depth reporting on issues of global importance through a gendered perspective.
Courage awards: since 1990, the courage in journalism award honors women journalists who set themselves apart by their extraordinary bravery, and the lifetime achievement award is given in recognition of Media industry pioneers who kick down barriers to equality and justice. Since 1990, the Foundation has honored more than 123 women journalists from 61 countries.
Emergency funds: these funds support journalists with immediate needs related to their professional work, such as medical aid, destroyed or stolen equipment and protective gear; long-term journalist needs such as trauma, mental health services and referrals to legal support; and journalists targeted as a result of their reporting at events related to but not limited to elections, civil movements and other challenging environments.
