Front Line and one of its partners, Privaterra, organized a series of training workshops for Human Rights Defenders in Guatemala from 4-8 September 2006. The workshops were based on the tools and materials from ‘NGO in a Box’ Security Edition, a project initiated by Front Line to assist Human Rights Defenders to increase their information and technological capabilities. The full security toolkit is available at: http://security.ngoinabox.org/
The training took a participatory approach and 17 organizations in total were involved in the workshops. Each workshop was tailored to the needs of the individual participants and involved training on security concepts from physical to electronic protection, information encryption backup, antivirus protection, free software equivalents of the proprietary tools and secure email and email encryption.
Following the workshops success, Front Line is working to expand the projects in partnership with the Asociación Para el Estudio y Promoción de la Seguridad en Democracia (SEDEM), Peace Brigades International (PBI) and independent technical consultants.
