Collaborate
Members team up across borders on real protection work — incident response, infrastructure, verification — so nobody faces a crisis alone at 2 a.m.
Sifr Network
From zero, everything.
Sifr is a network of technologists from the global south protecting the people who protect human rights. We share skills, back each other up, and grow — together.
What we do
Three things, done well.
Share skills
Peer-led Skill Circles, a living resource library, and answers from people who have actually done the work in the same conditions you face.
Grow
Mentorship pairing and exchange fellowships move members into new specializations — and bring that expertise back home to their organizations.

Skill Circles
Ninety minutes, one member teaching, everyone else stealing their best ideas. Recent circles: memory-forensics triage, shutdown-resistant hosting, and safer traveler-device setups.
None of us works alone.
If you keep others safe online from the global south, this network is yours.
