“Sooner or later, all the peoples of the world will have to discover a way to live together in peace.” Let us be inspired by the non-violent action initiated by legendary figures like Martin Luther King Jr. to "make the world a better place".

Human rights belong to everyone. No matter who you are. No matter who you love. No matter how you express your gender. This #PrideMonth, we continue calling for a world free from discrimination, violence and exclusion for LGBTIQ people everywhere 🌈

The International Labour Organization (ILO) theme for Labour Day, “Ensuring a Healthy Psychosocial Working Environment,” serves as a timely reminder of the importance of wellbeing in all spaces of work. At DefendDefenders, this resonates deeply with our commitment to the wellbeing and protection of human rights defenders. This year, we have declared 2026 as the Year of Wellbeing. This Labour Day, we honour the courage and commitment of human rights defenders who continue to fight for justice, dignity, fundamental freedoms, and the rights of marginalised communities despite growing restrictions and increasing risks. In these challenging times, prioritising wellbeing is essential to sustaining their vital work of building fairer, more just, and accountable societies for all.

Happy International Labor Day 2026.
