Dhaka, June 4 -- The safety of journalists is integral to freedom of expression and the public's right to information. Without a secure and enabling environment for journalists, democratic values, transparency, and accountability cannot be sustained. The QRS stands ready to support coordinated efforts among government, media, and civil society to safeguard press freedom in Bangladesh.

The Quick Response Support Team (QRS) is a multi-stakeholder platform comprising journalists, civil society representatives, indigenous rights activists, and academics, which commenced its work on 1 January 2026. The project is committed to monitoring, documenting, and responding to safety violations against journalists.
