Hosted under HRF’s Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Disruption Initiative, the Byond Borders workshop was a specialized capacity-building program designed to empower the next generation of diaspora leaders—including young activists, artists, and representatives from Uyghur, Hong Konger, Tibetan, Chinese, Southern Mongolian, and Taiwanese communities.
The initiative addressed critical challenges surrounding transnational repression (TNR), cross-community advocacy, and collective resilience through targeted training modules:
- Legal & Jurisdictional Strategy: Examined legal frameworks, evidence gathering, and secure reporting channels alongside experts like Laura Harth (Safeguard Defenders).
- Digital & Physical Security: Delivered actionable training on threat assessment, personal safety protocols, and risk mitigation.
- Artistic & Cultural Resistance: Explored how creative mediums—including music and graffiti—can preserve heritage, reclaim historical identity, and foster inter-community empathy.
- Uyghur Youth Mobilization: Led focused digital sessions tailored to refining grassroots organizing and campaign strategy for Uyghur youth leaders.
Key Impact & Outcome:
The collaborative insights and safety strategies from this workshop directly informed the Toolkit to Counter the Chinese Communist Party’s Transnational Repression, published by HRF in August 2026 to equip targeted diaspora communities with practical tools to identify and counter TNR tactics.
