The Global Protest Guide

The Global Protest Guide

This guide was produced by CIVICUS staff with input from the CIVICUS Protest Lab, a collective of activists from across the globe who came together to document, share and strengthen knowledge on the right to peaceful assembly. It draws on lived experience and is dedicated to all those who risk their safety to exercise this fundamental freedom.
