About PBI Country Groups

International volunteers accompanying those threatened for defending human rights would have limited effect without an international support network that can deter violence.

PBI country groups:

find and prepare field volunteers
build support networks to respond to threats
fundraise
raise the profile of human rights defenders and PBI
participate in wider peace and human rights forums
support volunteers on their return

Get involved with a local Country Group

Many countries do not have an official PBI Country Group but have small networks of individuals that may be able to help. If You are interested in starting a local group please contact us.

What they say

"Our great respect and admiration for their altruistic work, as well as our enormous gratitude links us with PBI. I can say with certainty that if we are still alive, it is mainly because of PBI's work."
