We are a human rights organization that supports civil society members who face persecution due to their work. We prioritize the dignified reintegration of Ukrainians who survived Russian captivity for civic engagement.
Civis Fortis translates from Latin as “strong citizen”.
We believe that the strength of civil society lies in people who are not afraid to act, to disagree, to speak the truth, and to support one another. Our foundation was created to protect, empower, and sustain that strength.
Our primary focus is on the Individual. If you are part of Civil Society and face danger, we will prioritize your safety, health, legal rights, and psychological well-being. We operate on the principle of comprehensive support — meaning we never leave you stranded and do everything possible to ensure you feel protected and supported.
You can rely on:
- Physical protection, relocation, and insurance
- Legal assistance from lawyers and attorneys
- Digital security — from account protection to device checks
- Financial support (e.g., for urgent or rehabilitation medical care)
- Psychological assistance
- Advocacy of your case — we will not allow your persecution to be silenced.
Our mission: To foster an environment where Civil Society can flourish without fear — with integrity and resilience.
We are already assisting our first beneficiaries. If you need help, reach out—you’re not alone.
