JOIN THE DIRECTORY!

The Global Directory of Journalist Safety Trainers & Advisors is a searchable database of security professionals with experience and expertise in journalist safety.
It has been created to provide the ACOS Alliance community with direct access to safety trainers and advisors around the world, and to help them connect with those who meet specific geographic and thematic safety needs.
A key aim of the directory is to diversify and widen the pool of safety experts in the journalism sector, with a particular focus on those who have deep and specialized knowledge of local contexts and languages.
We are currently reaching out to our global network of signatories, partners and security advisors to identify and invite relevant professionals to join the directory as part of the project's pilot phase.
