Human rights defenders are people who every day put their own safety and even their lives on the line as they work to uphold the human rights of others. People like Gégé Katana of Eastern Congo (DRC) who was the recipient of the 2007 Front Line Award for human Rights Defenders at Risk, presented by Bono in Dublin's City Hall. Every day Front Line is contacted by human rights defenders who have been arrested or vilified in the media, who may have received death threats or been tortured in custody. Their families may have been threatened and in some cases they may have had to leave the country. The job of Front Line is to help protect them so that they can continue their vital work on behalf of others without fear of harassment, arrest or being killed. Front Line responds with a fast and flexible support programme. We mobilise the international community on their behalf. We challenge governments and inter governmental organisations such as the UN, EU, African Commission and Inter American Commission and we demand action in accordance with international law. We produce reports on the situation of human rights defenders around the world We offer training in personal security, risk assessment and digital security. We provide grants for the security needs of human rights defenders. In cases of extreme danger we can evacuate a human rights defender on a temporary basis.
