Human rights defenders (HRDs) and pro-democracy civil society organizations (CSOs) face increasingly hostile environments throughout Latin America, including legislation that criminalizes their work, intimidation, harassment, and physical attacks among other human rights violations. This new report, "Defending Latin American Human Rights & Democracy Activists," provides an overview of regional trends in shelter and relocation programs for the defense and protection of HRDs and pro-democracy CSOs in Latin America. Although not exhaustive, it serves as a starting point to document recent trends, assess current programming approaches, and identify potential entry points for new opportunities.

Join Freedom House on Thursday, February 3, 2022, from 10:30 a.m-12:00 p.m. ET for the launch of "Defending Latin American Human Rights and Democracy Defenders and Activists." Register Now

Los Defensores de Derechos Humanos (DDH) y las Organizaciones de Sociedad Civil (OSC) prodemocráticas enfrentan entornos cada vez más hostiles en toda América Latina. Esto incluye legislaciones que criminalizan su trabajo, la intimidación, el acoso y los ataques físicos, entre otras violaciones de derechos humanos. El presente Informe ofrece un panorama general de las tendencias regionales en los programas de refugio y reubicación para la defensa y protección de DDH y las OSC prodemocráticas en América Latina. Aunque no es exhaustivo, sirve como punto de partida para documentar las tendencias recientes, analizar los enfoques de programación actuales e identificar posibles puntos de partida para nuevas oportunidades.

Únase a Freedom House el jueves 3 de febrero de 2022, de 10:30 a.m. a mediodía (hora de Washington DC) para el lanzamiento de Defendiendo a los defensores y activistas de derechos humanos y de la democracia en America Latina. ¡Regístrate ahora!
