5. Defending Human Rights with Olive Moore (Front Line Defenders)

Описание: In this episode of Protect The World, I speak with Olive Moore – Interim Director at Front Line Defenders (https://www.frontlinedefenders.org/) .



Front Line Defenders is a not-for-profit organisation that's focused on the protection of human rights defenders around the world. They have close to a thousand active cases, and are working tirelessly to support grassroots defenders of human rights who are facing persecution in every corner of the globe.



During this conversation, Olive and I discuss a range of Front Line Defenders' cases, including a remarkable good news story out of Iran, and an attempted trip to Bahrain that didn't quite go as planned. We also discuss the many challenging nuances involved in defending human rights, and some of the key values and principles that underpin this work.



Olive has spent decades working across every corner of the human rights sector, and has a phenomenal wealth of knowledge and experience that she shares throughout this episode. I really appreciated the opportunity to speak with someone so dedicated and passionate about human rights, and I hope you get as much out of the conversation as I did.



As always, half the money that came into the Patreon (  / brodiehopkinsmedia  ) this month was donated directly to Front Line Defenders. This money will go towards supporting the organisation's grants program, which puts funding directly into the hands of human rights defenders around the world. 



You can donate to Front Line Defenders directly at frontlinedefenders.org/donate (https://frontlinedefenders.org/donate) , and if you'd like to help me give more money to more amazing NGOs in future, please consider signing up to the Patreon for as little as $5 a month via the following link: patreon.com/brodiehopkinsmedia (  / brodiehopkinsmedia  )



You can also follow the rest of my work at @brodiehopkinsmedia (  / brodiehopkinsmedia  ) on Instagram.
