This year, WOLA amplified global calls of condemnation against violent repression of over 22 individual activists and published 72 urgent actions highlighting human rights crises in the region.
Both high-profile cases against human rights defenders—such as the detention of Salvadoran human rights attorney Ruth López—and the countless unnamed cases of everyday people who face danger for defending human rights deserve meaningful redress and swift action.
As a human rights–focused advocacy and research organization, WOLA addresses both specific instances of rights violations and the systemic challenges that threaten the long-term protection of human rights. Every step we take toward a freer, more just Latin America is meaningful—and with your support, we can make even greater strides.
Your support for WOLA has a direct and lasting impact—helping human rights defenders stay safe, protecting vulnerable migrants, and strengthening democratic institutions across Latin America. These efforts ripple across society, advancing gender equality, economic opportunity, and the protection of communities on the frontlines of the most important human rights battles of our time.
Your commitment doesn’t just support change—it makes it happen.
Thank you for being a driving force for justice, freedom, and a more equitable future.
