Jen Wilton is a journalist, researcher and photographer who is particularly interested in conflict, human rights, the environment and social movements.

Jen began working as a journalist in 2013, when she co-wrote a series of articles with Liam Barrington-Bush looking at Canadian mining in Mexico as part of an Investigative Journalism Fellowship with The Tyee in Canada. More recently, Jen has worked investigating the arms industry, researched violence against women and spent time in the Calais migrant camp before it was demolished.
