Let’s talk solutions
At Araminta, we support human rights defenders (HRDs) and civil society organizations. That includes practical protection, rapid support, and long-term strategies for human rights defenders worldwide.
What we do
| Emergency Response & Protection We connect rapid-relocation professionals across Europe, building a horizontal network for quick action, shared expertise, and peer support. | Administrative & Fiscal Support for Exiled & At-Risk Movements We offer fiscal sponsorship and administrative services to sustain deregistered or displaced civil society groups. |
| Democracy Support & Civic Space We work with grassroots actors to expand safe, open civic space and support democratic participation. We advocate at EU level for visa facilitation, mobility rights, and long-term protection mechanisms so HRDs can continue their work despite authoritarian restrictions. | Digital Safety & Secure Technology We help HRDs secure their communication and navigate technology risks with confidence. From encrypted communication to platform-specific risk mitigation, we support defenders in protecting their digital presence. |
| Research & Accountability We support partners in documenting human rights violations, producing credible evidence, and identifying early warning signs. We assist in preparing evidence-based reports and connecting defenders to pathways that strengthen justice efforts. | Training & Capacity Building We deliver workshops on protection planning, digital safety, advocacy strategy, and crisis response, strengthening the abilities of HRDs, journalists, lawyers, and civil society groups. |
