Are you or your team at risk of becoming a statistic?
According to data collected by the Committee to Protect Journalists there have been 1212 Journalists killed worldwide since 1992 and not just in places that you expect. On average, more than 30 journalists are murdered every year, and the murderers go unpunished in nearly nine of 10 cases.
Hundreds of journalists each year are attacked, threatened, or harassed. Many are followed or have their phone calls and Internet communications intercepted. More than 150 are behind bars at any given time, some without being charged with a crime. The whereabouts of at least 35 journalists are unknown.

No two countries are alike, and within those countries no two cities are the same.
The dynamic of the people and the ever changing situation on the ground means that the cultural and political influences are always evolving so it is important to stay up to date. Just because you have been to Afghanistan before doesn’t mean that the same places or the same strategies are still safe. Make sure you are up to date with the situation on the ground before you arrive!
Our consultants will work with you and your team to prepare you for work in dangerous situations at home and abroad.
The team will conduct area briefings based on your requirements to prepare you for the current challenges in the area and cultural awareness. This will involve an in-depth risk assessment relevant to the work you will be performing including transportation in and out of the country.
