Protection International

Protection International (PI) started in 1998 to work with grass-roots Human Rights Defenders (HRDs) at risk. Over the last 20 years, PI has made a major contribution to the definition and implementation of tools and strategies for the protection of HRDs, by:

  • Piloting new methodologies and innovative approaches, through activities such as publishing the first manual on the protection of HRDs.
  • Providing systematic overviews on existing public policies initiatives for HRDs protection.
  • Developing security and protection tools for grass root HRDs at risk.
  • Exploring innovative approaches for the self-protection of organizations and communities based on this experience.
  • Contributing to the recognition of human rights defenders as actors of positive social change over the years.
