</iframe>

If the map doesn’t show up full-width (across the browser width) or the scrolling doesn’t work, then you can add a screenshot of the project (link to image) and add a note below the image with a link to project on the Polis Project website: https://www.thepolisproject.com/mapping-patterns-of-violence-against-journalists-in-india-2019-2021/
