Topic: Digital Security, Physical Security, Well-Being Tool: Online Toolkits

The Holistic Security Protocol for Human Rights Defenders (the Defender’s Protocol) is a tool to advance physical safety, digital security, well-being and resilience of human rights defenders (HRDs). By following the Protocol, HRDs enhance individual and collective security, and thus, reduce the burden of attacks, harassment, and censorship on them and their communities. The Defender’s Protocol is based on Open Briefing’s experiences working with at-risk defenders all over the world and should be adapted to individual situations that HRDs face.
