People in Need now is part of TunnelBear NGO Support Network that consists of partnerships between TunnelBear and organizations that provide counsel to activists, journalists, and digital rights defenders.
Founded on the ideals of humanism, freedom, equality and solidarity, People in Need in Latina America is focused on helping dissidents and supporting civil society in repressive and democratic regression states and countries.
Restrictions in Latin America on the use of the Internet in authoritarian contexts increase every day, making the work of civil society and journalists a risk. TunnelBear strongly believes in an open and uncensored internet and recognizes the important work of organizations, and for this reason they are working to help those on the frontlines battling for freedom of expression and human rights in the digital age.
With this alliance, People in Need can support and combat censorship and maintain an open and free internet in an authoritarian context in the region.
“This strategic alliance is crucial to continue supporting media and journalists in the region. We are also proud for this recognition from TunnelBear for incorporate us as part of the NGO Support Network, this also show the effort of People In Need joining support with other organizations and creating an integral protection program for civil society, media and journalists," says Michele Falashi, regional director for Latin America of People in Need.
