UN Special Rapporteur for Human Rights Defenders<\/strong>
Human rights defenders are people who contribute to making the world a better and fairer place by promoting and protecting human rights. They speak truth to power and challenge governments that fail to respect and protect their citizens, companies that degrade and destroy the environment, and institutions that perpetuate privilege and patriarchy. The UN has an expert appointed specifically for human rights defenders. Their role is essential: they promote the work of those who defend human rights and they protect defenders at risk. The International Service for Human Rights and partners are campaigning so the new person appointed is independent, impartial, competent and expert and comes from a background that represents the diversity of our world.\u00a0Application deadline: August 28, 2025<\/strong>.
