Safeguard Defenders Information

At any given time, Safeguard Defenders is running about a dozen programs in target countries. From our small head office in Madrid, Spain we work with local partners, who include teachers, lawyers, local independent media organizations and civil society organizations engaged in the promotion and protection of human rights and the rule of law. Our Madrid office handles the day-to-day management and administration, while our network of staff and partners are located across Asia. For safety reasons, most staffand partners are kept anonymous, a testament to the severity of the human rights situation in target countries. Safeguard Defenders is a registered foundation in the European Union (Spain), under the name Fundacion Safeguard Defenders (G88426192). our story
