Retreat and training for Human Rights Defenders
Raise Your Voice brought together grassroots human rights defenders for two days of reflection, learning and sharing. The training provided a safe space for participants to talk openly about the challenges they face in their work and practical ways of staying safe and well. The discussions covered threats both physical, digital, and psychosocial faced by human rights defenders, and identified support and ways of building resilience. It was also a reminder that those who stand up for the rights of others need space to pause, reflect and take care of themselves. Through shared experiences and honest conversations, participants learned from one another, strengthened connections and left with renewed resilience to continue their work.
