While marking the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances, we will discuss the safety of individual defenders across the globe and rampant impunity for crimes against them. The panel is framed around a documentary film supported by IMS about the shared threats that women human rights defenders and the journalists who cover their stories face in Mexico.

This live discussion and the films featured in it were facilitated by International Media Support.
