Human rights defenders are being persecuted and silenced. We are here to help them at their time of greatest need.
We provide financial and practical support to help them rebuild their lives in dignity and continue standing up for what they believe in.

Will you join us?
Many of the people we work with live on the margins of society and right now, they need your help. As well as coping with the repercussions of standing up for their human rights, so many of them are contacting us, telling us they’re struggling to survive the cost-of-living crisis.
The people we support and their struggle to stand up for their human rights is always our focus. However, from time to time we need to reflect on how we communicate our work to existing and new audiences, and, in an increasingly digital world, a crucially important part of this is our visual identity.
