Field Projects 

"The protection I received from Peace Brigades International saved my life."
Eloyda Mejía, Association of Friends of Lake Izabal (ASALI)

Since 1981, Peace Brigades International has worked in eleven countries and on 4 continents. On request, our teams of volunteers provide protective accompaniment to human rights defenders threatened with violence.

Project work centers on:

  • Protective accompaniment
  • Building Support Networks
  • Raising the profile of those we accompany
  • Political analysis and spreading on-the-ground information

PBI Nepal Impunity Publication - May 2011

The culture of impunity in Nepal related to conflict-era crimes continues and affects present-day access to justice. There is an absence of rule of law in many areas and rising insecurity as a result. Human rights defenders working against impunity or within this environment are made vulnerable. Here PBI-Nepal's partners and volunteers describe the situation and the effects on human rights defenders.
