Will you help us support human rights defenders during this unprecedented crisis?

Throughout the countries in which we work, human rights defenders have stepped in to protect their communities and collectives during this pandemic, providing vital humanitarian support to marginalised populations who have been left out of their governments’ response to this crisis.

Human rights defenders are essential workers, yet now more than ever, they are under attack. Even during lockdown and restrictions on movement, the organisations and individuals we accompany continue to face harassment, threats and attacks for their legitimate peace-building activities.

Join PBI Ireland today in demanding that all human rights defenders have the space to live, work, and support their communities in peace.

Support PBI Ireland

Here in Ireland, the COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted the funds we can raise to support these defenders. This is why we need your help. With your donation, you can help PBI Ireland during this pandemic to:

Bring the needs and concerns of human rights defenders directly to our policymakers and embassies
Link in remotely with human rights defenders to show them they are not alone
Expose human rights violations
Host digital events where human rights defenders can speak directly to the public on the most pressing issues they are facing in this context

And most importantly:

With your donations, we will hit the ground running when restrictions are lifted, allowing us to recruit and support volunteers in Ireland to continue our vital accompaniment of at-risk defenders in the field.

If you are in a position to help, please join us in saying that human rights defenders are essential workers, and they deserve our support.
