An exhibition of photographs documenting the lives of human rights defenders on the frontline.

To mark the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the United Nations Declaration on Human Rights Defenders, Front Line would like to invite you to attend “Defending Life with Life”, an exhibition of photographs illustrating the lives of human right defenders on the frontline.

These stunning photographs were taken by photographer Mark Condren to illustrate a series of five special features in The Sunday Tribune documenting the lives of human rights defenders at risk in Honduras, Western Sahara, North East India, Serbia and Kenya.

The exhibition will run from December the 8th until December 23rd, 9am-5pm, in European Union House, 18 Dawson Street, Dublin 2

Front Line is the International Foundation for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders.

Front Line was founded in Dublin in 2001 with the specific aim of protecting human rights defenders at risk, people who work, non-violently, for any or all of the rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Front Line aims to address some of the needs identified by defenders themselves, including protection, networking, training and access to international bodies that can take action on their behalf.

Front Line seeks to provide rapid and practical support to at-risk human rights defenders, including through a 24 hour emergency response phone line, and to promote the visibility and recognition of human rights defenders as a vulnerable group.
