On International Human Rights Day, 10 December 2012, PBI reaffirms its solidarity with human rights defenders around the world, and its commitment to the promotion of human rights and the protection of those who struggle in the face of threats to nonviolently uphold the rights of their communities.

The courage, strength, perseverance and resilience of these brave men and women continues to humble and inspire all of us at PBI.

Please help us to continue protecting human rights defenders by making a donation today.

Every donation matters: $7/£5/€5 a month covers regular phone calls to check on a defender's safety and wellbeing. $15/£10/€12 a month enables weekly visits to provide moral and practical support to a defender at their place of work. 

Sadly, the need for this work remains as pressing as ever.
