Greek freelance journalist Anthi Pazianou found herself in the middle of an online abuse campaign in September after the leader of an extreme right-wing movement posted a photo of Pazianou with a refugee football team whose story she had recently covered along with other refugee-related issues on the Greek island of Lesbos. The post, which contained language demeaning Pazianou and questioning her status as a journalist, sparked a wave of insults and verbal sexual harassment, both online and in the streets.
