Refugee Leaders and Refugee Human Rights Defenders around the world continue to face many threats and unfortunately the world does not have enough information about the situation of this category of people. Some are punished by the refugee regime in different countries because of standing for refugee rights, some are arrested and suffer alone in detention places, others are forced to flee their host countries, others are denied relief aid in order to weaken them,....

This project will restore hope and build solidarity around the world on the situation of Refugee Leaders and Refugee Human Rights Defenders in difficult situations. This project will offer them the necessary support they need and empower them to stand for what they believe in, and lastly this project will create better ways to increase their protection space, through urgent interventions in less than 48hours.
