FCRA PROJECT: FRONT LINE DEFENDERS SECURITY GRANTS
Deadline: 31.12.2014
In 2001,
Front Line Defenders launched its highly successful Security Grants programme
to provide timely and efficient financial assistance to human rights defenders
at risk.
Front Line Defenders Security Grants can pay for organisational and personal provisions to improve the security and protection of a Human Rights Defenders and their organisation. Grants can pay to improve physical security of an organisation, digital security, communication security, legal fees for HRDs who are being judicially harassed. They can pay for medical fees for HRDs who have been attacked or who have suffered a medical condition as a result of their peaceful human rights activities. We can also provide family assistance for imprisoned HRDs. Grants are for amounts up to a maximum of €7,500. We fund emergency and general security grants.
