Duty of Care is a holistic safety and security program designed to meet the specific needs of our local women journalists who live in the communities that they cover. For these journalists, emergency extraction is never an option. They require a robust and inclusive security methodology that prioritizes the interconnectedness of physical, emotional, digital and legal security. At Global Press, Duty of Care is implemented in three distinct ways: (i) About 20% of the Duty of Care program is implemented in training. We teach our reporters life-saving skills like emergency first aid, surveillance detection, their digital security toolkits, legal law labs, and more. (ii) About 75%, the vast majority of Duty of Care, is implemented in day-to-day policies and procedures. By taking important steps — like checking networks to following travel policies and protocols — our reporters are able to keep themselves, their colleagues, their sources, and their families safe. (iii) About 5% is crisis response. We spend so little of our Duty of Care time and energy on crisis response because we spend so much time and energy on mitigating the risks as often as we can. Every day, from Mexico to Mongolia, Zimbabwe to Democratic Republic of Congo, Global Press reporters take extraordinary risks to bring you stories that no other reporter can. But to produce this world-changing journalism, our reporters need to know that we care about their safety and security above all else. At Global Press, our Duty of Care program is interwoven into both our ethos and operations. In 2020, the program received the Chester M. Pierce Human Rights Award from the American Psychiatric Association for its “extraordinary efforts to prioritize the mental health of journalists around the world.” In 2022, it was named one of Fast Company’s World-Changing Ideas in the enduring impact category.
