A free civic space and an enabling environment for civil society is a precondition for vibrant and open democratic societies that work for all. The foundation of civic space in Europe has been under sustained attack over recent years. Pervasive inequality, unaccountable corporate power, an emboldened far-right and misuse of national security frameworks pose serious threats to civic space and democracy in Europe.

In this project, Front Line Dfenders aims to support Human Rights Defenders (HRDs) at risk in Europe to safely continue their vital work to protect and promote human rights in their societies, push for democratic governance and accountability, support sustainable development, and act as key agents for social justice.
