Protection International lanzó con gran éxito la exposición fotográfica « For Those Who Died Trying » sobre asesinatos de defensores de derechos humanos y desaparición forzada". El proyecto busca recordar a aquellos que murieron defendiendo los derechos humanos y protegiendo el medio ambiente, ubicando una fotografia del defensor/a, en la medida de lo posible, en el lugar exacto donde fue asesinado o secuestrado.
El proyecto que presentó las fotografías de 37 asesinados o secuestrados defensores de derechos humanos en Tailandia tomadas por el fotógrafo británico Luke Dugglebly en el norte, sur y noreste de Tailandia. La música que acompaña al proyecto es una composición del músico canadiense Frank Horvat.
Protection International inaguró la exposición en la Place des Nation de Ginebra el 9 de mayo del 2016 coincidiendo con el examen periódico universal de las Naciones Unidas sobre Tailandia. Este proyecto fue copatrocinado por el SIDA y la exposición en Tailandia fue apoyada por el Gobierno Canadiense.
