Through temporary relocation to a safe and inspiring space, human rights defenders have the opportunity to re-energise, receive personalised support, and engage with allies to reinforce their local actions for change.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Shelter City is a growing global movement of committed cities, institutions and people. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each Shelter City comprises a local network of organisations and citizens that offer human rights defenders a safe environment for three months. <\/span>Currently, there are a total of 22 local Shelter Cities in the Netherlands, Georgia, Tanzania, Benin, Costa Rica, Nepal, the United Kingdom, and France. To date, Shelter City has supported over 699 human rights defenders from all over the world.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n\n                  <a href=\"https:\/\/sheltercity.org\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"c-btn c-btn--primary\">Visit the Shelter City website<\/a>\n        \n      <\/div>\n\n    \n    \n      <div class=\"o-layout__item o-content u-1\/1 u-1\/3@tablet\">\n\n        <div class=\"o-callout o-callout--padded u-text-small u-fill-gray\">\n          <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12331\" src=\"https:\/\/justiceandpeace.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/shelter_city_alternative_logo_centered_full_color_rgb_600px@72ppi-591x585.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"537\" height=\"532\" \/>\n        <\/div>\n\n        \n      <\/div>\n\n    \n  <\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"o-wrapper u-padding-top content alignwide alignfull\" id=\"content-block_714c0b2866620f0767a70c842ca05b16\">\n  <div class=\"o-layout\">\n    <div class=\"o-layout__item o-content u-1\/1 u-2\/3@tablet\">\n\n      <div >\n        \n        <div class=\"o-video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Shelter City: 10 years standing side by side with human rights defenders at risk\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/792JHI1zjSo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n        \n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"o-block-row o-wrapper u-padding-vertical-large o-content split_content alignfull\" id=\"split-content-block_60c53a7e97a203042a0d8faa1fbc3ae3\">\n\n  <div class=\"o-layout \">\n\n\n    \n      <div class=\"o-layout__item o-content u-1\/1 u-1\/2@tablet\">\n        \n        <div >\n          <h2 class=\"column-title\">Who are human rights defenders?<\/h2>\n<p>A human rights defender is anyone who peacefully promotes freedom and justice.
