Why it was needed

Human Rights Defenders in South Sudan work in highly restrictive environments. SS4HRDs gave them protection and the tools to document violations safely.

Objectives

  1. Expand protection mechanisms for Human Rights Defenders.
  2. Equip HRDs to safely document, analyze and report violations.

Achievements and outcomes

  1. Dedicated protection mechanisms and safe environments for HRDs.
  2. HRDs equipped to document, analyze and report violations safely.

Lessons learned

  1. Protection and skills must go together: documentation is only useful if defenders stay safe.
