International Women's Media Foundation (IWMF)

The International Women's Media Foundation (IWMF), based in Washington, D.C., is dedicated to enhancing the role of women in the media on a global scale. The organization has developed various initiatives aimed at assisting women in overcoming the challenges they encounter in their professional and personal lives. The IWMF's efforts encompass a diverse array of programs, including international reporting fellowships in regions such as Africa and Latin America, grant opportunities for female journalists, research on the status of women in the media, and the presentation of awards such as the Courage in Journalism Award, the Anja Niedringhaus Courage in Photojournalism Award, and the Lifetime Achievement Award. Additionally, the IWMF champions press freedom on an international level, frequently initiating petitions to urge governments worldwide to release imprisoned journalists and to ensure the safety of those at risk.
