Front Line Defenders - works to protect Human Rights Defenders (HRDs) around the world who are people working non-violently, for any or all of the rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).

Front Line - The International Foundation for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders provides rapid and practical support to HRDs at immediate risk. The organisation provides security and protection grants to organisations working for human rights as well as to individual HRDs at risk. These grants are given for the specific purpose of strengthening the security and protection of the HRDs, thus allowing them to continue their important work. They can include funding to improve digital security, communication security, legal fees for HRDs who are being judicially harassed, medical fees for HRDs who have been attacked or who have suffered a medical condition as a result of their peaceful human rights activities, family assistance for imprisoned HRDs. (This is not an exhaustative list). The organisation also funds emergency security grants and can help with temporary relocation. Training in security including digital security, publicising the cases of human rights defenders at risk and campaigning and lobbying at the international level for HRDs' protection is also part of Front Line Defenders' remit.
