Our Right To Safety:
Women Human Rights Defenders' Holistic Approach To Protection
AWID &
the Women Human Rights Defenders International Coalition (WHRD-IC) are
re-launching Our Right to Safety: Women Human Rights Defenders'
Holistic Approach to Protection.
11/03/2014 - This publication provides a
reflection on the complex situations of women defenders who face threats and
violations as a result of their work defending human rights.
The investigation asserts that both the
violence experienced by women human rights defenders, as well as the impact
that such aggressions have on their lives and activism, makes it necessary to
adopt protection mechanisms that address the different needs and realities of
WHRDs. Similarly, it moves away from the concept of protection that focuses
solely on the physical aspect, towards one that also addresses the need to
create an enabling environment for WHRDs to carry out their work safely.
The ideas and recommendations included in
this publication were developed through a consultation process that reflects
the experiences of women human rights defenders from various regions.
