International Human Rights Defenders Day is a reminder that progress on human rights doesn't happen by accident. Each step forward happens because HRDs persevere, year after year, choosing to be lighthouses instead of hurricanes. We owe them an eternity of gratitude. #HRDday
A graphic celebrating Human Rights Defenders Day. On the left, bold white text on a blue background reads “Happy Human Rights Defenders Day!” The graphic is divided diagonally, with blue on the left and light purple on the right. Illustrated line drawings depict different human rights defenders: a woman speaking into a megaphone beside a man holding a protest sign; a group of three people smiling and holding a large Pride flag overhead; and a defender taking notes while listening to a woman speaking. In the bottom right corner is the logo of the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Defenders with the tagline “In Solidarity & Hope.”

🔴 En Ginebra, Claudia Vargas, viuda del defensor Roberto Sarcamo, intervino en el #HRC60 sobre #Nicaragua:

📢 « Solicito protección para las personas exiliadas... los asesinatos políticos en países de refugio erosionan el derecho de asilo y minan la credibilidad del sistema internacional de DDHH. »

#Kenya I am receiving disturbing information about the alledged killing of at least two protestors and thousands of injured in protests in Nairobi. No one should loose their lives for excersising their rights.

🔴 At the Human Rights Council, PBI raised concern over enforced disappearances and arrests of human rights defenders in Kenya, most linked to protests. One year since the 2024 demonstrations, accountability for the human rights violations committed remains lacking.

As "civilian-based defence" increasingly becomes a topic of interest, we reflect on our history and ongoing practice of "unarmed civilian protection" and active nonviolence within this current political moment of increased concern: pbicanada.org/2025/04/03/u... #PBIaccompanies

« In an environment of extreme poverty, (…), evictions under these conditions create humanitarian emergencies and situations of extreme vulnerability, forcing many families to migrate. » #Guatemala
