Nominations Open for 2017 Front Line Defenders Award for Human Rights Defenders at Risk!

Call for Proposals: European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights Program (Eritrea)

Deadline: 3 February 2017

Front Line Defenders is currently accepting nominations for 2017 Front Line Defenders Award for Human Rights Defenders at Risk.

The annual Front Line Defenders Award was established in 2005 to honour the work of a human rights defender who, through non-violent work, is courageously making an outstanding contribution to the promotion and protection of the human rights of others, often at great personal risk.

The Award seeks to focus international attention on the human rights defender’s work, thus contributing to the recipient’s personal security, and a cash prize of €15,000 is awarded to the Award recipient and her/his organisation in an effort to support the continuation of this important work.

Front Line Defenders was founded in Dublin in 2001 with the specific aim of protecting human rights defenders at risk (HRDs), people who work, non-violently, for any or all of the rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Front Line Defenders addresses the protection needs identified by HRDs themselves.

Core Values

In providing protection and support to human rights defenders, Front Line Defenders and its staff are committed to:
