Civil society and human rights defenders act as democratic antibodies when rights, democracy and the rule of law are under attack. For this, they need support and protection.

Through the Net4Defenders project, we work to:

• build capacities of activists on the ground to monitor and respond to civic space restrictions and illiberal tendencies,
• develop national protection hubs to provide support to civil society under attack,
• advocate for a thriving civic space in the respective countries,..

The project is funded by the European Union’s Citizens, Equalities, Rights and Values programme (CERV).
