Human Rights Defenders are those who, individually or together with others, promote, protect and defend human rights. A Human Rights Defender can work both from a national NGO based in a larger city as well as work in a local community.

Defending Human Rights is a high risk activity in Latin America. On a regular basis, the human rights defenders put their life and freedom at risk to defend human rights, suffering intimidation, harassment, criminalisation and violence.

The EU-LAT Network promotes respect for and the protection of the work of human rights defenders and advocates for adequate spaces for human rights defenders and civil society.
