Human rights defenders and returned volunteers speak out and strengthen the protection we provide.

About PBI Country Groups

International volunteers accompanying those threatened for defending human rights would have limited effect without an international support network that can deter violence.

PBI country groups:

  • find and prepare field volunteers
  • build support networks to respond to threats
  • fundraise
  • raise the profile of human rights defenders and PBI
  • participate in wider peace and human rights forums
  • support volunteers on their return

Get involved with a local Country Group

Many countries do not have an official PBI Country Group but have small networks of individuals that may be able to help. If you are interested in starting a local group please contact us.

What they say

"Thank you, brothers and sisters for accompanying us for these 16 years. ..You made possible what to me in the darkest hours of our people seemed impossible: to save the lives of those destined for death by repressive forces."
Julia Esquivel, poet.
