The Marie Colvin Journalists’ Network is raising £50,000 to provide urgent mental health support for women journalists, aiming to meet its goal by 12 January 2027.
The Marie Colvin Journalists’ Network (MCJN) has launched a fundraising campaign to provide essential mental health support to women journalists facing unprecedented challenges. It aims to raise £50,000 by 12 January 2027 —what would have been Marie Colvin's 70th birthday.
Marie Colvin was an American war correspondent who was killed in Syria in 2012 with French photographer Rémi Ochlik, in what was later found to be a targeted attack on the press by the Syrian government.
The fund will help meet the high demand for trauma support among MCJN members.
