Digital Defenders Partnership (DDP)

Overview

The Digital Defenders Partnership (DDP) is a non-profit organisation headquartered in the Netherlands which was initiated in late 2012 by the Freedom Online Coalition (FOC) to protect critical Internet users – human rights defenders (HRDs), including activists, bloggers, civil society organisations, journalists, and other users of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to defend human rights, and keep the Internet free and open.
