Human rights defenders in the European Union

This new edition of the ENARgy webzine is dedicated to human rights defenders in Europe. It starts with an overview of the situation of human rights defenders in Europe. Further articles show examples of minority and migrants’ rights defenders in danger, and highlight specific challenges of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual (LGBT) rights defenders in Europe. The webzine also offers an assessment of the impact of EU support on the situation of human rights defenders in non-EU countries, and in parallel, the case for protecting human rights defenders in the EU as well. Finally, some concrete guidelines for action for witnesses of racist incidents are provided.
