The media’s reporting of violence against women and girls can play a vital role in ending it; increasing our collective understanding of abuse and challenging its place in society. But as we see all too often, it can also reinforce victim-blaming attitudes and beliefs that violence against women and girls is a normal part of life.

We know that violence against women is not inevitable, and that by shifting our collective attitudes and beliefs and addressing the inequality that underpins them, we can create a world without abuse.

That’s why we’re recognising journalists, writers and content creators who report on violence against women responsibly, sensitively and accurately.

Endorsed by the National Union of Journalists (NUJ), our awards pave the way for a change in how violence against women and girls is reported on and in turn, positive change in how we collectively think about this abuse.

We need your help to find the very best writing in each of our award categories:

• Best news piece
• Best feature
• Best investigation
• Best opinion and comment
• Best blog and self-published
• Best broadcast (experts’ pick)
• Wooden Spoon (a harmful trend or theme in reporting on VAWG)

We’re particularly interested in pieces by under-represented voices, including Black and minoritised women, LGBT+ people, disabled people, those from working-class backgrounds.
