Did you know? They are not protected by international legislation

We need your help generating awareness on protecting translators and interpreters worldwide – because they are at risk. Language professionals working with military are often kidnapped or tortured, experience death threats, incarcerated for their work, or even lose their lives.

What you can do

Please assist with urging the UN to protect translators and interpreters around the world, by joining the movement to sign the petition to End The Targeting of Translators and Interpreters.

> Learn more about the cause, and sign the petition

What do you think?

Members discuss the practice questions raised here in the Community Conversations feed in the member portal. It is the fastest way to find out whether your experience is typical, and to hear how colleagues in other countries have handled it.
