The struggle for civic space

We are witnessing a backsliding of democracy around the world for the 15th consecutive year. Threats to democracy, civic freedoms and human rights are escalating in many countries.

All around the world, human rights and environmental defenders continue to struggle and defend their rights, even if it means risking their lives.

We give you a glimpse into their situation.
