Know Your Rights
Share This Guide
The ‘Know Your Rights’ pocket guide for environmental defenders shares practical information on the rights guaranteed to environmental defenders under different human rights-based legal instruments and how to exercise these rights so as to operate as safely as possible in their activist efforts. The guide uses real-life examples and suggestions on available resources, contacts, tools and remedies with a focus on situations where activists are more exposed to oppression, such as civil disobedience.
We invite you to share this pocket guide with your organisations, friends and allies, to spread more awareness of legal tools and remedies available as well as best practices, allowing more activists around Europe to make informed decisions and stay safer in their environmental advocacy.
