Access Now works to defend and broaden digital rights for people and communities at risk, operating from local grassroots networks to a global scale. It collaborates with local actors to embed a human rights framework into how digital technologies are used, developed, and governed, and it intervenes when technology threatens rights. Its activities combine direct technical assistance through a 24/7 Digital Security Helpline with strategic advocacy, grassroots grantmaking, and convenings such as RightsCon. Based in Bonifacio Global City, Metro Manila, Philippines, the organization is part of the civic and social sector and has a mid-sized footprint. Recent activity highlights its role in global digital rights discourse, including hosting RightsCon 2025 in Taipei and online.
