External event
On 6 May, FRA will speak at the OSCE Supplementary Human Dimension Meeting in Vienna.

The meeting will be on Protecting Civic Space - the Role of Human Rights Defenders and Freedom of Peaceful Assembly.

Against the background of a shrinking civic space and restrictions on freedom of peaceful assembly in the OSCE region, the meeting serves to discuss growing challenges for human rights defenders but also good practices in assisting those at risk, cooperation across borders, and the use of technology to support defenders.

FRA will contribute with its findings on how to safeguard civic space based on its work on civic space and on human rights defenders.
