Despite the fact that it has not yet mobilized the necessary funds, this project is touching the real needs of Refugee Human Rights Defenders in many countries now.
In the Democratic Republic of Congo we are working closely with refugee leaders and have supported some including other ignored Human Rights Defenders such as Pro-Democracy Presure Groups,
In Uganda we have accompanied refugee leaders in Nakivale Camps, Kyaka II Camp and in Kampala,
In Kenya we have amplified the activities of refugee leaders, on top of that we have been connected to other refugee refugee leaders other countries who are in difficult situations.
Not alone anymore
At least now we are able to collect the information and make urgent appeals on behalf of Refugee Human Rights Defenders at risks, like in this case in Uganda " https://www.cojeskinordkivu.org/urgent-action-on-behalf-of-musirikale-marcel-rasta-a-vocal-refugee-detained-in-kampala-uganda/
Before no one could know what happens exactly on refugees who decide to stand for their rights of other refugees in different countries, now we are informed and we should continue doing more.
Conclusion
We remain determined to support the work Refugee Human Rights Defenders are doing and we should ensure they are not left alone, they should feel our presence when they are in difficult situations, and this is what we are doing.
Our biggest challenge now is more related to funds, please support us and at the same time amplify our ideas to others.
