HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDERS' STORIES

> "I remember to be hopeful... because I believe in my own power."

Alicia from the Bahamas See all stories


OUR PRIORITIES


WOMEN'S RIGHTS

Women human rights defenders have historically been at the forefront of human
rights progress relating to gender and equality, creating and implementing
campaigns for change.


LGBTQI+ RIGHTS

LGBTQI+ rights defenders work toward enhanced respect, dignity, equality and a
world free from violence and discrimination for their communities, for everyone!


BUSINESS AND HUMAN RIGHTS

Responsible business should support human rights and people who defend them.
Companies can take concrete actions to protect defenders and the 'shared space'
in which both operate!


LAND, CLIMATE AND ENVIRONMENT

Land, climate and environmental rights defenders work against the clock to
address the climate crisis and help us all live on a healthy, sustainable
planet.

See all our priorities


WHERE WE WORK

ISHR has permanent offices in Geneva and New York, enabling us to build and
leverage our distinctive expertise and networks at the UN and among key
diplomats for the benefit of defenders. ISHR establishes presences in strategic
locations from time-to-time as is appropriate and necessary to best enable
achievement of our goals. As is the case with our office in Abidjan in Cote
d’Ivoire, such presences may include the co-location or secondment of ISHR staff
with key national and regional human rights defender organisations or networks
or the relocation of staff to provide enhanced access to key decision-makers.
