Risk analysis

In many countries and regions of the world, the work in favour of human rights is an activity that embodies risks.

  • The risk of being assassinated, tortured, harassed, detained, threatened, &hellip
  • The risk of being “disappeared”
  • The risk of losing our job, of being accused of being a “terrorist agent” or of being at the mercy of “foreign governments”
  • The risk to see our spouse or our children also threatened due to our activity
  • The risk of being raped, accused of disrupting social order that does not recognise the role of women in the defence of Human rights
  • Finally, though we have eluded to the worst, the risk of losing self confidence and of abandoning the defence of Human Rights... which is precisely the objective of the repression

Risk is usually an integrative part of our work and our goal will be to bring it to a « reasonable » level in order to protect and guarantee the sustainability of our work.
