President Trump's ban of @CNN, @MSNOWnews & @politico from the White House is an attempt at censorship that disproportionately impacts women journalists. We're grateful to the news networks that joined in solidarity to suspend pool coverage today. iwmf.org/2026/09/iwmf-applau….

We stand with Sophia Huang Xueqin and more than 60 organizations calling for her immediate and complete #freedom.
Her release must mean the freedom to return to journalism without surveillance, harassment, retaliation, or restrictions.
Freedom means being free to report.
À quelques jours de la libération de Sophia Huang Xueqin, une coalition de 60 ONG, dont RSF & @amnesty, appelle les autorités🇨🇳 à garantir sa pleine liberté. Cette figure emblématique du journalisme qui a contribué au mouvement #MeToo en #Chine, doit pouvoir poursuivre son travail.
