Very moved and humbled by the work @DefendDefenders are doing in Uganda and around the world to allow human rights defenders to be #SafeButNotSilent building on the groundbreaking work of @MaryLawlorhrds and many others over the years
This afternoon our Executive Director @Hassan_shire was delighted to host H.E. Ambassador Mags Gaynor of @IrlEmbUganda to introduce our work and explore opportunities for continued collaboration. During her visit, the discussions highlighted national and regional human rights trends, and considered the structure and nature of our protection program and interventions in responding to human rights defenders at risk. We appreciate the continued support of the Government of Ireland towards enhancing protection of human rights defenders.
DefendDefenders supports Irish candidacy for the UN Human Rights Council membership for the 2027-2029 term.

Human rights defenders in Côte d'Ivoire still face repression despite legal protections. Their courage and resilience remind us of the urgent need to strengthen support and ensure their safety. We must stand with those risking everything for justice.

The panel on human rights defenders in Côte d'Ivoire was both powerful and heartbreaking.
Despite a law designed to protect them, human rights defenders in Côte d'Ivoire continue to face brutal repression from both the state and their communities.
Their stories of courage and resilience in the face of such injustice left us deeply moved.
We must do more to protect those risking everything for human rights.
