What happens to human rights defenders when they are at their most vulnerable - when their physical safety is threatened alongside side their online safety? Where should they go? Who should help?
The Ubuntu Hub Cities is an initiative is trying to address this problem. It is a city-based relocation initiative for human rights defenders (HRDs) at risk across Africa which provides an avenue for HRDs who have been subject to threats, violence, highly stressful and dangerous environments and extreme pressure as a consequence of their human rights work to temporarily relocate.

The initiative aims to ensure the physical and mental well-being of HRDs during their relocation period, while enabling them to continue their work. Through diverse partnerships across the continent, the project also provides an opportunity for HRDs at risk to learn and share experiences in their host countries and/or communities and return home with enhanced capacities to protect and promote human rights.
