EUROPEAN UNION TEMPORARY RELOCATION PLATFORM
The EUTRP
The European Union Temporary Relocation Platform (EUTRP) is a network of 100+entities engaged in temporary relocation of at-risk human rights defenders. It aims at facilitating coordination and cooperation among actors involved in the temporary relocation of HRDs at risk, allowing its members to share knowledge and resources, and coordinate joint efforts.
The members of the EUTRP are non-governmental organisations, EU institutions, universities and education institutions, and national, regional and local governments. Each member is linked to the temporary relocation of HRDs at risk in different capacities, as host entities, grant-making entities, donors, policy makers, and/or referral entities, coordination hubs, and other.
ProtectDefenders.eu, the EU Human Rights Defenders Mechanism
In October 2015, the European Commission appointed ProtectDefenders.eu as the coordinator of the EUTRP. ProtectDefenders.eu, the European Union Human Rights Defenders mechanism, is established to protect defenders at high risk and facing the most difficult situations worldwide. It is led by a Consortium of 12 NGOs active in the field of Human Rights.
