Honduras provides little to no protection for journalists and human rights defenders. They suffer from threats, harassment, and brutal acts of violence. But that will not stop me from continuing to fight against the countless human rights abuses committed in my country.

The military coup in Thailand in 2014 caused many, including myself, to become victims of the repressive government. Today, I continue to advocate for political and civil rights in my country by monitoring and reporting human rights violations and working on building a movement with youth and networking groups across the country.

In Nigeria, you constantly have to worry about what you do, with who you are, what time you go out, what time you return. Despite the difficulties and challenges that I have faced, as a young women’s rights defender and LGBTI activist, I fearlessly defend and stand up for the LGBTI community through my work.

As someone who advocates for LGBTI+ rights, my colleagues and I are often targeted for our work. Yet, despite the difficulties we face, I believe there is hope, even if we're struggling in Zimbabwe at this moment, there is hope because countries like the Netherlands have done it.

When I am walking in Utrecht, even in dark alleyways, I don’t feel uncomfortable or unsafe. This is a huge contrast to my home in Mexico. In my hometown, there has not been one single day in my life where I have felt completely safe. We always need to be careful.
