Cara (the Council for At-Risk Academics) is a rescue mission for academics around the world who need urgent help to escape from discrimination, persecution, violence or conflict. 

Cara also supports academics who choose to work on in their home countries despite serious dangers, and higher education institutions whose work is threatened or compromised.
