PBI-Switzerland has noted: “Four PBI-supported human rights defenders participated in the UN Forum on Business and Human Rights in Geneva, as part of an international delegation representing environmental and social rights struggles.”

“One’s leadership should not be focused only on one part, but I believe that as leaders of women, we have to put ourselves in a framework that is to do good.” 

PBI provides protective accompaniment to individuals, communities, grassroots movements and NGOs flighting against impunity and violence while working toward securing various protection mechanisms – from land and environmental rights, to women’s rights, LGBTQIA+ rights, minority rights and access to justice.
