Human rights defenders
Human rights defenders are on the frontline of defending human rights.
With the shrinking space for civil society, defending human rights is becoming more dangerous. The Shelter City Network provides these human rights defenders the ability to take a breath for a short period. They can get off the radar for some time, regain their energy, and go back stronger.
Meet some of the guests that have stayed in the Shelter City network:
