We believe that NGOs' work is a critical asset for our society, protecting human rights and civil liberties. It is their critical work that makes them a highly valuable political target for a wide variety of powerful actors. The end result is a continuous flow of attacks and technical abuse. Usually struggling for financial support for their causes, how can they protect themselves? At the CTU University, we took a step forward to help them.
The project has now its new website and social identity, offers 4 different free services to help NGOs and people at risk, and it's currently helping 8 organizations and more than 20 individuals across Europe, Africa, and Latin America. Check the project page at www.civilsphereproject.org.
