For women war reporters, the battlefield has two frontlines. When you read a report on the US-Israel’s war on Iran...look at the byline. If it’s written by a woman, read the report knowing women journalists covering conflict zones face two kinds of dangers. #InkSights #NWMI #InternationalWomensDay

A hand-drawn watercolor editorial illustration depicting a woman journalist seen from behind, wearing a blue vest labeled "PRESS" and holding a microphone. She stands in a smoky, chaotic war zone with military helicopters flying in the background and colorful explosion bursts to the right. Behind her, two soldiers in olive and camouflage uniforms appear to be grabbing or approaching her. A speech bubble in the upper right reads: "For women war reporters, the battlefield has two frontlines."

The illustration is by #AnupamaBijur, a #NWMI member and conveys the dual threats — combat and gender-based violence — faced by women in conflict journalism.

Anupama does a monthly feature for #NWMI called #InkSights which is commentary on media, gender and their intersections
