What will Friends of Front Line do

The Friends of Front Line was established on 29 January 2008 to develop awareness and understanding of the vital work of human rights defenders and the urgency of finding better and more effective ways to protect them.

This awareness and support will provide a platform from which Front Line can launch faster and more effective protection to help human rights defenders at risk.
Friends of Front Line was established with the strong endorsement of former president of Ireland Mary Robinson who has supported the work of Front Line since its inception.
Archbishop Tutu

The work of Front Line has also been endorsed by Nobel Laureate and champion of the anti-apartheid movement, Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa.
With your support we can do more to protect human rights defenders like those highlighted in the recent campaign organised
Bodyshop campaign
Front Line Body Shop Campaign
in partnership with The Body Shop Ireland.
Together we can build a strong constituency of supporters to advocate on behalf of human rights defenders and raise funds to help Front Line respond more effectively.
