PRESS

We welcome press coverage and can connect journalists with survivors and survivor organizers around the world. Reporting helps bring state-inflicted blindness—an underreported form of violence—to wider public attention, exposing the devastating consequences of so-called “less-lethal” weapons: blinding, maiming, permanent disability, and death.

For interviews and press inquiries, contact press@rijo.network.

We encourage journalists covering blinding by police and other state forces to explore the reporting linked below.
