A global network of civil society actors that drives multi-stakeholder action and systemic change in the recognition, support, and protection of Indigenous, Land, and Environmental Defenders (ILEDs).

As a network, ALLIED is rooted in the recognition and importance of collective power as the main way to address violence against ILEDs. Power imbalances, corruption and discriminatory practices are at the heart of attacks against ILEDs. Networks that bring together community leaders, activists, lawyers, and funders in a trusted and secure way can help to counter these power imbalances.
