Human Rights Defenders

Human Rights Defenders (W/HRDs) are individuals dedicated to ensuring that all human beings enjoy dignity, freedom, and fundamental human rights without discrimination. They fight for this cause, often paying a heavy price for their legitimate activities. The status of a W/HRDs is usually determined by their actions in the service of human rights. According to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), W/HRDs are all persons, who individually or in association with others, act to promote or protect human rights peacefully. This definition includes anyone who defends any human right (or group of rights) on behalf of individuals or communities. W/HRDs also work to promote and protect civil and political rights, as well as the realization of economic, social, and cultural rights
