PBI’s work is important because they empower important human rights change from the ground up. By focusing on grassroots actors PBI is helping create space for these actors in political spheres, where they voices are direly needed.

PBI’s work is unique, professional and effective. I felt a huge impact while and after being in the field: I feel that I understand the entanglement of things more, I feel that I am much more dedicated to make this world a better place

PBI has shaped my professional career and has deepened my understanding for dinamics of oppression and activism in the face of authoritarian governmental structures. I think in this way, PBI has certainly contributed to make me the person I am today
