Human rights defenders can apply for the Front Line Fellowship Program, which offers them an opportunity to take some time out from their normal work.
Front Line, the International Foundation for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders founded in Dublin in 2001 aims to protect human rights defenders at risk. It offers its fellowships to help human rights defenders not only take some time off their work but also work on a project to build their capacities further and contribute to the protection of human rights defenders internationally.
Front Line Fellowships are given out on a flexible basis for periods of one to six months and can be located in Dublin, Brussels or another location.
To apply for the fellowship, applicants should submit a letter addressing the following topics:
- the candidate’s 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 the candidate’s human rights work;
- a proposal of a project or skills to work on
topics the candidate would particularly like to study as part of the fellowship; - requested location and why (please explain why the suggested location is important for the success of the project)
period of time required and why - how the candidate will use the experience on the fellowship in their human rights work when they return home
- how participation will contribute to the strengthened protection of human rights defenders nationally/internationally.
All Fellowships have been allocated for 2010. The deadline for applications for 2011 is 30 November 2010.
