Global report on the situation of women human rights defenders

The Global Report on the Situation of Women Human Rights Defenders is an initiative of the Women Human Rights Defenders International Coalition (WHRD International Coalition) to articulate the challenges faced by women human rights defenders and how best to respond to them.

The Global Report on the Situation of Women Human Rights Defenders, reflects the growing body of analyses produced by the members of the Women Human Rights Defenders International Coalition (WHRD International Coalition) since 2005. It demonstrates the challenges to women human rights defenders (WHRDs), the source of these challenges and how best to respond to them.

The use of 43 cases studies, including that of Sandra Viviana Cuéllar Gallego, selected by WHRD International Coalition illuminate specific trends and experiences of WHRDs. The cases provide a vivid glimpse of the landscape in which WHRDs live and work.
