Over a year-long process, the UNESCO Chair collaborated with universities, NGOs, donors and human rights defenders to co-produce the Guidelines which represent an invitation for universities to get involved in hosting, a source of inspiration about why this work matters, and a guide and set of tools on how to provide support for human rights defenders.
The Guidelines are intended to be a living document, and will be regularly updated and revised to reflect developments in practice and new knowledge. The Guidelines will be shared with universities, NGOs and human rights defenders the Chair welcomes any correspondence with universities interested in hosting at key events over the coming year. Requests, feedback and suggestions on the Guidelines can be sent to [email protected]
