EnGarde Donated Body Armor to Reporters Without Borders

    POMPANO BEACH, FL, December 10, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- EnGarde has donated body armor to help the Swedish division of Reporters Without Border's mission. Reporters without Borders has correspondents in 150 countries and sends out more than 1,000 press releases annually, helping to fight against censorship and laws that hamper the freedom of information.

EnGarde has supplied Reporters Without Borders with its EnGarde Panther PRESS edition body armor that has been specifically designed to meet the media's needs - those working in areas where the danger threat to their lives is high. The organization will lend vests out to freelance journalists who work in the conflict zones, regardless of where they are.

Freelancers work in dangerous conditions and don't generally have the support of a key news organization. And, because of that, they often don't have the basic protective equipment.

Reporters Without Borders, however, will help freelancers without the means to buy protective equipment themselves by lending them the necessary protective equipment. The organization needs the help of benefactors and supporters to provide journalists with this type of equipment. This is where EnGarde has come in.

EnGarde's Panther Press edition is the civilian equivalent to the company's best-selling tactical police vest, bringing together the most protection possible with supreme mobility. The vest has NIJ Level IIIA protection that can be upped to NIJ Level III or NIJ Level IV by putting in a hard armor plate in the back and front. It also features removable shoulder and neck protection.

EnGarde Marketing Manager Iwan Luiten said the company's dedication is to ensure the lives of people who put themselves in danger to protect other's rights - military personnel, law enforcement officers, security guards and journalists. He said freedom of the press is extremely important for people around the world, and the company is happy to assist them by making a contribution to people who preserve that freedom.

By EnGarde and Reporters Without Borders teaming up, freelance reporters now have a fighting chance to tell the stories of tyranny and fraud in areas that have been riddled with it. These are stories that many people don't ever hear about even though it's a widespread issue. EnGarde supports the organisation's mission and principles, and is more than happy to ensure it meets its goals by supplying the necessary materials to ensure reporters' safety.

EnGarde body armor is a Dutch manufacturer and distributor of high quality body armor for law enforcement, military and civilians worldwide.
