Los defensores y defensoras de derechos humanos, a causa de la labor que desempeñan, a menudo están sometidos a persecuciones, abusos, castigos y arrestos o detenciones arbitrarias, especialmente en países en los que no existe un Estado de Derecho efectivo
In consideration of the latest developments in Turkey creating an ever less enabling environment for human rights defenders, with the support of ProtectDefenders.eu Secretariat, five international organizations working in the human rights field established a new grant-making program to provide support to human rights defenders in Turkey. The Comprehensive Support to Human Rights Defenders in Turkey program is funded by the European Union.
The project aims to protect human rights defenders at risk, support human rights defender organizations in continuing to carry out their work while strengthening their domestic and international networks and increase their capacities in documenting human rights abuses, access to justice mechanisms and advocating for a more enabling environment for their work in Turkey.
