We work with people facing repression in their home countries and in the diaspora, bringing together activists, researchers, publishers, technologists, cultural workers, and human rights organisations.
Our aim is simple: to help people work more safely, share knowledge across communities, and build practical tools that support security, freedom, and solidarity.
SAFE Activists researches the risks faced by people who challenge repression, including digital threats, surveillance, harassment, smear campaigns, intimidation, transnational repression, and the wider tactics used to silence, isolate, or discredit activists.
We look at how repression operates online and offline: from account compromise, phishing, spyware, doxxing, impersonation, coordinated reporting, platform abuse, and information manipulation, to threats against families, pressure through institutions, and attempts to make activism feel unsafe or impossible.
We turn that research into practical guidance, shared resources, and collaborative tools that help people protect themselves, support each other, document incidents, and continue their work more safely.
SAFE Activists is built on collaboration, trust, and practical solidarity.

Let’s stay connected — and keep each other safe.
