In July 2020, Front Line Defenders launched Cypher (@cypher_comics on Instagram), a digital comics magazine that advances the organization’s storytelling and narrative framing work in collaboration with and in support of HRDs. Working with artists from around the world, including the award-winning visual storyteller, Beldan Sezen, as creative director, the ’zine is a monthly publication featuring stories of HRDs, their work and the challenges they face.
В публикации "Dispatches 2019" представлена работа, проделанная Front Line Defenders по всему миру для защиты и обеспечения безопасности правозащитников, подвергающихся риску в 2019 году, в том числе влияние грантов, тренингов, адвокатской деятельности, видимости, отдыха и передышки и других программ. В 2019 году Front Line Defenders принимал 114 правозащитников на двухгодичной Дублинской платформе; вручил ежегодную премию 5 правозащитникам из числа ЛГБТИ+ в честь 50-летия восстания Стоунволла; а также предоставил 626 грантов на защиту правозащитников по всему миру.
В отчете за 2019 год описаны нападения на правозащитников, кампании клеветы, угрозы цифровой безопасности, преследование в судебном порядке и гендерные атаки на правозащитников и правозащитниц по всем миру. Последние события в разных уголках мира, от Гонконга до Багада, показали, что правозащитники являются предвестниками социальных изменений и сталкиваются с существенными рисками в связи со своей деятельностью -- будь то требование гражданских и политических свобод или защита окружающей среды и борьба с климатическими изменениями.
