Description
1) Objective
The Elisabeth-Selbert-Initiative (ESI) provides threatened human rights defenders with a safe place to recuperate, cope with trauma, and when possible, to network and further develop their professional skills. The initiative is named after the politician and lawyer Dr. Elisabeth Selbert (1896 – 1986). The initiative provides temporary relocation grants for those who, due to their peaceful commitment to human rights, are threatened with physical and psychological violence, arrest, occupational disqualification, and even murder. Funding includes:
- PL1: Four to six-month relocation grants for human rights defenders at risk at host organisations in Germany.
- PL 2: Four to six-month relocation grants for human rights defenders at risk at safe places within their home countries or regions.
- PL 3: On-site assistance funds for temporary local measures that increase the protection of human rights defenders at risk. The funding is awarded by the German missions abroad.
- PL 4: Special Module Afghanistan provides temporary support for human rights defenders from Afghanistan who have been granted admission under paragraph §22.2. of the Residence Act. Limited to 6 months.
2) Eligibility
Any human rights defender or host organisation is eligible.
3) Location
Actions can take place worldwide. The Elisabeth-Selbert-Initiative has no regional or thematic focus in the protection programme for human rights defenders nor is it oriented towards specific professional groups such as journalists or lawyers.
4) Budget
You can apply for funding for the human rights defenders as well as accompanying costs such as health insurance and travel expenses.
5) Application
Applicants need to fill in the human rights defender forms which can be obtained from ESI by email. It needs: (1) personal statements by the human rights defender; (2) completed application form by the host organisation; and (3) the host organisation’s financial plan. There are no deadlines.
