Peace Brigades International provides protective accompaniment to community leaders, farmers, lawyers, journalists, Indigenous peoples and others at risk for defending land, water, Indigenous and human rights in Mexico, Colombia, Honduras, Guatemala and several other countries.

In addition to PBI's presence alongside human rights defenders, we work to raise the profile of the dangerous context in which they work and advocate for greater protections for them so that they may do their work in peace.

We also recruit volunteers to accompany human rights defenders and promote a greater awareness of human rights work by organizing speaking tours in this country with the human rights defenders we help protect.
