The Protection Handbook for Human Rights Defenders was published in 2007 by Front Line. It is a revised and condensed version of the Protection Manual produced in collaboration with PBI in 2005 (written by Enrique Eguren).

Meant as a practical resource that human rights defenders can use in developing their security and protection plans and strategies, this resourse covers techniques for analysing risks and threats and developing effective security and protection strategies and plans. It will hopefully be a useful resource for those responsible for security in human rights NGOs and as a support for training for human rights defenders.
