Our freedoms, our rights, and our societies depend on people who take a stand in their defense. In other words, human rights need defenders.
Human rights defenders take personal risks to make a safer, more equal, more inclusive, and more just world for us all. Yet, in many parts of the world, they are harassed, jailed, prosecuted, attacked, and even killed, often with complete impunity.
Protection International stands for the right to defend human rights. By protecting human rights defenders, we are protecting your rights too.
