PBI's field projects

Since 1981, Peace Brigades International has worked in 11 countries and on four continents. At the request of local organisations, our teams of volunteers provide protective accompaniment to human rights defenders threatened with violence.

Project work centres on:

  • Protective accompaniment
  • Building support networks
  • Raising the profile of those we accompany
  • Political analysis and spreading information about the situation on the ground
  • Peace building/Peace education

Read more about our work and the people and organisations we accompany in Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico and Nepal.

PBI closed its Indonesia Project in 2011. Read a report of our work there (pdf 1.4mb).
