Círculo is a safe digital space for when journalists, activists and human rights defenders feel unsafe. It offers a secure form of communication for people to lean on their networks and communities when they face and challenge harassment and violence.

This tool was created as an effort by the Guardian Project and ARTICLE 19, based on the experience, needs and concerns of women who occupy a central role in society by working in the journalistic activity, social initiatives and mobilizations for the defense of human rights.

At the heart of the app is wellness, ensuring that each journalist, activist and human rights defender is supported by a self-chosen community. This can help to mitigate burnout and trauma and consequently self-censorship in what are high-risk fields of work.
