BlueLink supported the civil "Protest Against Violence Against Women" that took place on November 26, 2018 in Sofia, Bulgaria. The protest was organized by the Bulgarian Fund for Women (BFW) for the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.

BlueLink's project Rememebering Europe: Civil Society Under Pressure Again was funded by the EU's Europe for Citizents programme, with the purpose of bringing up European remembrance of ostracism and pressure against civil society to help contemporary European civil society organisations (CSOs) who are under various forms of pressure at present.

Bluelink is launching a campaign "Free Speech v.s Hate Speech: Online security for Environmental, gender and human rights activists in Bulgaria" to reasearch ways, routs and consequences of online hate speech against civil society activists in Bulgaria as well as to give a start to effective counteractions that activsts can use in their work.

BlueLink signed an open letter by digital rights' defenders to the EU's Commission, calling for action to protect fundamental rights enshrined in Articles 7, 8 and 11 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, as interpreted by the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Justice.
