Journalist Rana Ayyub, who won two awards this year—the Outlook Youth Icon of The Year and the Most Resilient Global Journalist at the Peace Palace in Hague—was the target of a deepfake pornographic clip for speaking up about the rape of a minor girl in Kathua in Jammu and Kashmir. In the days that her harassment continued, she had to be sent to the hospital with heart palpitations, anxiety and high blood pressure caused purely due to stress. But the awards, she said, have come as a salve and acknowledgment of her work.
