Empoderadas / Protección Integral para Mujeres Defensoras
https://herramientadefensorasderechostierra.org/es/
Existen una serie de medidas de seguridad que las mujeres defensoras de derechos humanos pueden tomar para mejorar su protección. Desde el desarrollo de capacidades en técnicas de seguridad hasta el apoyo puntual en casos de emergencia, las defensoras han identificado estrategias adicionales de protección no menos importantes, tales como la capacidad de llevar a cabo actividades de incidencia y cabildeo, la construcción de alianzas y de redes de apoyo, la búsqueda de fuentes fiables de financiación y recaudación de fondos y el aprendizaje de técnicas de auto-cuidado. Todas estas medidas pueden ayudar a asegurar que las defensoras puedan trabajar en un entorno más seguro, y en grupos y organizaciones más sostenibles.
Esta Caja de Herramientas/“Tool Kit” pretende ser una guía sencilla y accesible a algunos de los múltiples recursos existentes en apoyo a mujeres activistas que trabajan para la defensa de la tierra y del medioambiente. Está dirigida a defensoras que forman parte de organizaciones de mujeres, mixtas, y a aquellas que actúan de forma independiente.

The Advocates for Human Rights | Resources for Human Rights Defenders
https://www.theadvocatesforhumanrights.org/uploads/app_q.pdf
A Human Rights Defender (HRD) is a person or group that works on the front lines to promote and protect human rights. Because Human Rights Defenders are directly challenging human rights abuses by governments and private parties, their own rights can be endangered. This resource sheet is designed specifically for Human Rights Defenders, providing information about safety and security, emergency assistance for at-risk HRDs, and advocacy tools.

Toolkit for Latin American Women Human Rights Defenders Working on Land and Environmental Issues
https://herramientadefensorasderechostierra.org/en/
There are a range of measures that these women human rights defenders (WHRDs) can take to increase their protection. As well as capacity-building in security techniques and access to support in cases of emergency, WHRDs have identified other, no less important, strategies for protection, such as the ability to carry out advocacy, building alliances and support networks, as well as finding reliable funding sources and learning self-care techniques. All of these – and others - can help to ensure that WHRDs can work in a secure environment, and in groups and organisations which are sustainable.This toolkit is intended as an easy, accessible guide to some of the many resources on these subjects that exist, but which WHRDs working land and environmental rights may not be aware of. It is aimed at WHRDs, whether they are part of all-women organisations, mixed, or acting as individuals.

https://www.international.gc.ca/world-monde/issues_development-enjeux_developpement/human_rights-droits_homme/rights_defenders_guide_defenseurs_droits.aspx?lang=eng
Canada’s Guidelines on Supporting Human Rights Defenders (the Guidelines) is a clear statement of Canada’s commitment to supporting the vital work of human rights defenders. The Guidelines outline Canada’s approach and offer practical advice for officials at Canadian missions abroad and at Headquarters to promote respect for and support human rights defenders. Missions should do their utmost to implement these Guidelines, recognizing that each approach should be tailored to local contexts and circumstances, and respond to the specific needs of individual human rights defenders. Section 4 of these Guidelines provides detailed guidance for Canada’s diplomatic missions.
