Prisoners of Conscience

Prisoners of Conscience (PoC) provides financial and practical support to persecuted human rights defenders to help them rebuild their lives in dignity and safety, and continue standing up against human rights abuses.  

Meet Lina

Meet Lina

Lina is a human rights defender from Afghanistan. She is currently in hiding after being detained by the Taliban for organizing peaceful protests. We supported Lina with grants for living expenses and visas so her husband could join her in hiding.  

Families reunited

Families reunited
Some people may be forced to flee their countries and leave loved ones behind after standing up for human rights. By awarding grants for travel, DNA testing, legal expenses and more, we are helping human rights defenders reunite with their families.  

Keeping voices alive

Keeping voices alive
‘PoC came to the rescue of me and my young children and provided a grant that saved our live. I will forever remain thankful to the voice that cared for me and my children when I had no hope at all.’  Hamidah, a Ugandan human rights defender.
