The Zimbabwe Union of Journalists (ZUJ) will soon be launching training workshops for student journalists on safety and security.

ZUJ Secretary General, Foster Dongozi said this during a presentation to trainee journalists at the Harare Polytechnic's Department of Mass Communication.

Students said challenges that they faced while on internship included sexual harassment, lack of resources, lack of access to information, mentorship inadequacies, gender imbalances and poor working conditions.

Students said they faced sexual harassment at colleges and while on attachment.

In response Dongozi said they would soon be launching training programs on safety for practising journalists and student journalists.
