I Defend Rights audio WHO IS A HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDER?
If you defend human rights through peaceful means, YOU ARE.
The United Nations, says: "There is no strict definition of human rights defenders because they can be anyone who acts at any moment for any human rights."
A human rights defender can be a man, woman, lawyer, student, an NGO’s employee, a doctor or any person from any profession, of all ages, nationalities, religions, etc.
