Protecting People of Integrity: Standing with the Frontliners

Whistleblowers, investigative journalists, women leaders, indigenous defenders, and countless others increasingly suffer violence, intimidation, silencing, or murder. They fight with the courage and power of integrity, often standing alone against overwhelming odds. Impunity for those responsible has become the rule, not the exception.

This track seeks to honour, protect, and support these defenders of integrity. We will reflect on lessons from past efforts, and craft new alliances and tools to ensure that defenders are not isolated but instead backed by an even stronger global movement determined to keep them safe.
