PBI in Mexico

The Mexico Project field team is made up of volunteers from many countries who accompany people or organizations under threat, make regular visits to conflict zones, distribute information about the evolution of the conflict, work with civil and military authorities and carry out public relations and lobbying work to generate international support.

The Project works according to the philosophy of nonviolence, within the framework of international norms of human rights, under a strict respect for local laws and is independent of political and religious agendas. The Mexico Project receives funds from many public and private institutions of different countries, which allows it clear financial independence from any organization.
