  • There is a growing global concern regarding the shrinking space for civil society and attacks on human rights defenders.
  • The EU should ensure that its own policies, such as trade and migration, do not have negative impacts on human rights.
  • Special attention must be given to protecting vulnerable groups, including women, children, and LGBTI persons, especially in conflict zones.
