In Exile
Going into exile is a particularly traumatic experience. Often unprepared, human dignity defenders, both in their personal capacity, but often as entire organization, see themselves forced to leave everything behind to start not only a new life in a country that is not always a country of their choice but also to go through organizational establishment processes to continue their work from abroad. Not much special support is yet available for those in exile, but we hope to be able to grow the below resources rapidly and in due time.

Podcast PH-I Against The Odds: The importance of partnerships in exile
- The notion of partnership is a wide topic, and regularly discussed in the context of a good donor relationship, the generation of lasting impact or others. Upholding high quality partnerships are not an easy undertaking, but when doing so from exile, it is even more challenging, and crucial. Stephen Nyein Han Tun is a social scientist and anthropologist, and he is also a human rights defender from Myanmar now in exile in Thailand. In this episode of our podcast PH-I Against the Odds, he will share with us his experiences on the importance of partnerships for successful human dignity work from, and in exile.
