"Stand As My Witness" isn’t just a campaign — it’s a call to remember those on the frontlines defending human rights. Many are thrown behind bars to be silenced. But are they ever truly silent?

This #HumanRightsDay we honour the courage of all who defend our freedoms, including those wrongfully imprisoned for their activism. At #ICSW2025, voices from across the globe shared messages of solidarity with human rights defenders.

Behind every human rights victory are defenders who sacrifice more than most of us will ever know.

@CIVICUSalliance's @tafireitakaedza & my latest piece for Global Citizen explores their fight — and how you can stand with them.

I co-authored this article with my Kenyan colleague. Read it fully here: https://t.co/8Dfw3CryYs

“Don’t shoot to kill, shoot the leg...” was the chilling instruction #Kenya President William Ruto gave to police after #Sabasaba protests in July, where thousands of young people took to the streets to denounce alleged state-led efforts to silence critics of his regime.

[Asma Darwish @Eagertobefree]

What is at stake is more than a hashtag, more than a viral meme, more than a single protest. It is the right to imagine a different future. A future where our resistance is matched with leaders who hear our demands, amplify our voices, and defend our freedoms.

[Asma Darwish @Eagertobefree]

Young people worldwide resist state brutality online. Where streets are dangerous, memes, hashtags & #AI campaigns become shields. From #Sabasaba in #Kenya to hunger strikes in #Bahrain, creativity fights oppression. #StandAsMyWitness

Did my first ever voiceover for something close to my heart!

Watch "Heroes in Handcuffs", a video we made at @CIVICUSalliance for the #StandAsMyWitness campaign — imagining a world without Human Rights Defenders.

This is a lived experience. I know what it means to feel forgotten, but I also  know the power of being remembered. #StandAsMyWitness is more than a campaign—it is a call for solidarity, resistance, & courage.

Speaking out for justice shouldn’t cost you your freedom, or your life.

I am happy @tafireitakaedza & I gathered forces & thoughts 💭 on this opinion article marking Nelson Mandela day.

Worth a read if you have few minutes, in solidarity with every human rights defender that is out there at the frontlines ❤️
