My sister Daphne was murdered. We want justice for women journalists

Corinne Vella, sister of Daphne Caruana Galizia, spoke on an openDemocracy panel about her sister’s struggles and the legacy of her work

It wasn’t always clear [that Daphne would be a journalist] – because women weren’t journalists when we were growing up.

Women were largely confined to the sidelines of journalism, women’s issues and that sort of thing. There weren’t journalists in newsrooms and there weren’t journalists writing columns, and there certainly weren’t women writing columns in their own name – so she was quite new and there was no example to follow when we were growing up.
