What will happen to those who are vulnerable?

We must amplify local voices at regional and international levels. Member organisations are the lifeblood of FIDH; our strength lies in our diversity.

Stoning is an extremely cruel form of punishment, amongst the worst kinds of torture.

Nobody wakes up one day and decides to leave their country if there is good governance, if there is a rule of law, if human rights are in fact being protected and respected.
