About the map

Human rights defenders and other civic actors at risk can struggle to identify and access the local and international support that they need in an emergency. The Protection Ecosystem Map helps both those at risk and other organisations in the ecosystem navigate the rapid response mechanisms, security grants, and other support that may be available.

Users can navigate the map in full screen or browse or search the database. Users can also filter the results by the type of support, the thematic focus, and/or the regional focus in order to narrow down their search further. Any column in the database can be sorted alphabetically. Users can save their results as a custom URL or export them as a CSV file.

About Open Briefing

Open Briefing builds resistance and resilience among the people and movements challenging unaccountable power.

As a mission-driven nonprofit, we join forces with grassroots activists, community groups, and social movements at risk. Working together, we strengthen their physical safety, digital resilience, and collective wellbeing. As a social impact consultancy, we also help high-profile nonprofits and foundations navigate risk and support the people and partnerships that make change possible. This dual approach allows us to work at every level of civil society, from the grassroots to the global. 

Across all our work, we come with questions, not just answers. We listen to the knowledge and experiences of the people we support before sharing our own. Then we act together to challenge unaccountable power.
