International organization „Civil Rights Defenders“ has declared Zdravko Cimbaljevic, the executive director of LGBT Forum Progress, as the civil rights defender of the month on a global level.

Međunarodna organizacija Zaštitnici ljudskih prava (Civil Rights Defenders) proglasila je na globalnom nivou Zdravka Cimbaljevića, izvršnog direktora LGBT Foruma Progres za zaštitnika ljudskih prava mjeseca.

Cimbaljevic represents the rights and freedoms of the LGBT community on the local, regional and European level, advocates against their discrimination and fights for better visibility and acceptance of LGBT persons in their surroundings.

The civil rights defender is a person who in a peaceful way promotes and protects Human Rights. Throughout the world civil rights defenders are facing threats, they are being harassed or even murdered. Every month during the year 2012, this international organization chooses one of the most recognizable civil rights defender who, in many ways, face great risks in the fight for the rights of other people.

Cimbaljević na domaćem, regionalnom i evropskom nivou zastupa prava i slobode pripadnika i pripadnica LGBT zajednice, zalaže se protiv njihove diskriminacije i za veću vidljivost i bolju prihvaćenost u sredinama u kojima LGBT osobe žive.

Zaštitnik ljudskih prava mjeseca je osoba koja na miroljubiv način promoviše i štiti ljudska prava. U čitavom svijetu, zaštitnici ljudskih prava su pod velikim prijetnjama, maltretirani ili čak ubijani. Svakog mjeseca tokom 2012. godine ova međunarodna organizacija bira po jednog prepoznatljivog zaštitnika ljudskih prava koji su, na mnoge načine, pod velikim rizikom u borbi za prava drugih ljudi.
