HAITI: Hostile Environment and First Aid
Training through practical and realistic security scenarios for Haitian journalists.
USAGM is dedicated to ensuring journalists’ safety amid the challenges of modern journalism. Recently, our Business Development Office of Training conducted a three-day ‘Hostile Environment and First Aid’ training for 15 Haitian journalists facing daily violence in their country.
The workshop, organized and led by USAGM, featured practical scenarios and was instructed by experts from Global Journalist Security (GJS). Journalists affiliated with VOA Creole covered topics such as working in hostile areas, checkpoint protocols, hostile interactions, arrests, interrogations, kidnappings by criminal gangs, personal security, common crime, sexual assault, digital security, and first aid.
