Human rights advocates from around the world are invited to apply for the Front Line Fellowship Program, which offers human rights defenders time out from their normal work to undertake a project which will further develop their capacities and contribute to the protection of human rights defenders internationally.

Fellowships will be offered on a flexible basis for periods of one to six months. Fellowship locations are also flexible, and could include Dublin, Brussels or another venue to be discussed.

Applicants should submit a letter addressing: their experience as a human rights defender and details of their current role; details of any threats, harassment, detention, ill-treatment or other negative consequences faced as a result of their work; a proposal of a project or skills to work on; topics to study as part of the fellowship; requested location, period of time and why; and how participation would contribute to their work and the strengthened protection of human rights activists everywhere.

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and should be sent to Tara@frontlinedefenders.org.
