Human Rights Defenders

Human Rights Defenders are individuals or groups who work to promote and protect human rights. They advocate for justice, freedom, and equality, often standing up against abuses such as discrimination, violence, and oppression. These defenders can be activists, lawyers, journalists, or ordinary citizens who speak out for the rights of others, often at great personal risk. Their work raises awareness about human rights issues and seeks to hold governments and organizations accountable, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their background, can enjoy fundamental rights and freedoms.
