The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) is offering this grant to provide crucial medium-term support for human rights defenders (HRDs) who have been forced into exile. This grant is for the purpose of strengthening the resiliency of these courageous individuals, empowering them to continue their vital advocacy for fundamental freedoms. Many HRDs face forced relocation due to significant threats or attacks stemming directly from their essential work. Through this open competition, DRL envisions a collaborative program designed to enable these defenders to overcome challenges posed by exile and maintain their impactful contributions to human rights globally. Organizations are invited to submit proposals that directly address the unique needs of exiled HRDs, ensuring their continued ability to champion justice.
