Natalia Project is the world’s first security alarm system for human rights defenders at risk

If attacked, bearers of the alarm can send out a distress signal with a GPS-location, so that we immediately can mobilise help and inform the world of the attack.

Since it’s launch in 2013, more than 200 defenders have participated in the project.

Core International Crimes in Times of War

Armed attacks on civilian targets such as schools and hospitals, torture, executions, and the use of chemical weapons.

We work to achieve justice for their victims and to keep dictators awake at night.
