Protection International (PI) is an international non-profit organization (NGO) that supports human rights defenders in developing their security and protection management strategies. Since 2007, Protection International has been working with local partners across the globe. We understand that human rights defenders are subjects of rights, instead of objects for protection. We have offices in Latin America, Africa, South East Asia, and Europe. Our freedoms, our rights, 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.
