Women journalists face sexual harassment in the newsroom and in the field. Internews in Tanzania raises awareness on “sextorsion” in the media with a PSA launched during the 16 days of activism on Gender Based Violence in the workplace. The PSA, based on a real incident, shows a case of sexual harassment of a woman journalist while interviewing a source.

The PSA ends with the hotline number managed by Tanzanian Women Lawyers Association where people can report all cases of sexual harassment.
