Our global network of privacy defenders

We fight for the right to privacy of everyone everywhere. People must have access to privacy protection without regard to citizenship, race and ethnicity, economic status, gender, age, education.

We believe that the most sustainable engine of change is a thriving set of advocates, researchers, and campaigners across the world. We work with an international network of partners organisations because together we can create deep, meaningful, and global impact.

Our goal is to create sustained and unavoidable conditions for the protection of rights and dignity even as the practice of power changes due to changes in technologies, global politics, markets, and societies.

Together we are building expertise on law and technology that investigates local developments and advocates for change. We also take the fight to international forums. We advocate for strong standards at regional and international regulatory and human rights bodies such as the Inter-American and African systems, Council of Europe, the European Parliament and the United Nations. 

Through our partnerships, we aim to:

• amplify each others’ work to increase the diversity of the voices for change and the audiences we can reach;
• scale each others’ work to ensure it is relevant to other contexts and fora;
• embed change by ensuring that stakeholders nationally, regionally, and globally adapt to protect rights.

By learning from each other, concertedly challenging ourselves to undertake quality, innovative advocacy and complementing each other’s work, we can create a dynamic set of pressures globally, regionally, and locally to generate real change.
