Insiste, Persiste, Resiste, Existe: Women Human Rights Defenders’ Security Strategies

All over the world, women defend the rights of individuals and communities facing oppression, discrimination and violence. Their work is powerful, and controversial. And it often meets with bitter, and violent, opposition.

Most women human rights defenders (WHRDs) are well aware of the risks they face. Activists know, from painful experience, the price that many pay for putting their bodies, and their families, on the line.

My friend Dr Mudawi Ibrahim Adam is in detention again in Khartoum. He was taken by the National Intelligence and Security Service (NISS) from the University of Khartoum on 7th December and is being held without access to his lawyer or his family. He has previously been detained on several occasions, for over a month in 2010 and earlier for a total of 18 months in several spells during 2003-2005.

Defending Rights in the Time of COVID-19: WHRDs tackle domestic violence in China

Por FLD East Asia Team

In mid-February 2020, as the coronavirus outbreak led to cities and counties across China imposing strict lockdown, a mother surnamed Wang and her two young children, with luggage in tow, walked for almost five hours in an attempt to return to their hometown in a neighbouring county after she was beaten by her abusive ex-husband.

Stories of resistance: the women leading the struggle for indigenous rights

María Magdalena Tun didn’t choose to become a human rights defender. But when private companies started evicting local communities in her region, polluting the rivers and destroying the forests, she realised she could not sit idly by: she had to defend the rights of her people.

Relatório Anual 2016

Como documenta o nosso Relatório Anual 2016, pelo menos 156 defensores/as de direitos humanos foram mortos/as, ou morreram enquanto estavam detidos/as, em 2015. Mais da metade desses assassinatos, 87, ocorreram na América Latina, com a Colômbia sozinha contabilizando 54 mortes. Fora das Américas, um dos números mais alarmantes foi o total de 31 assassinatos premeditados de defensores/as de direitos humanos nas Filipinas.

Voices from Oaxaca: "I will keep fighting until my husband is released"

Por Lorena Cotza

Yolanda Barranco Hernández will never forget the morning of 18 May 2013. It started with a loud noise. Seven men carrying heavy weapons broke down the door of her house. They were looking for her husband, Damián Gallardo Martínez. They didn't present any warrant. They said they were there to arrest him and they took him away.

Five Ways the EU Can Stand With Eastern European Activists While Standing Up To Putin

Sitting in Minsk following a few days of meetings with human rights defenders and others in Belarus led me to reflect on where Europe stands with Eastern Europe. Recent criticism of Tánaiste Simon Coveney promoting trade with Russia in spite of sanctions is only one symptom of a broader weakness and lack of strategy at EU level.
