Worldwide, more than 10 million NGOs provide essential services to over 1 billion people.

But they are in danger.

For over a century, NGOs have been the backbone of global peace and justice, preventing conflicts, sustaining peace, and protecting humanity.

Today, as the digital revolution accelerates these vital efforts are at risk. NGOs face unprecedented threats in the digital space, becoming targets in an evolving cyber battleground. Together, we must protect their mission and secure a future of peace and justice.
