Organised by

PBI UK supports, protects and empowers human rights defenders around the world, contributing to their ability to safely and effectively promote rights and protect the environment. We do this by campaigning for policy changes to ensure that governments and businesses respect human rights and take proactive action to prevent and respond to threats against defenders. We mobilise resources and action from UK civil society, Parliament and the Government to enhance defenders’ impact and help keep them safe; and we resource and support the PBI Front Line Teams providing holistic protective accompaniment to defenders whose lives are at risk.
