Protection and social reintegration
Protection is not only keeping someone from harm. It is what happens afterwards: whether a person displaced, separated or exploited can return to community life with standing rather than stigma. We work on both halves, with the local structures that have to carry them once a programme closes.
Aligned to
SDG 16: Peace, justice and strong institutions
What this involves
Three things this area of work actually consists of
Protecting people exposed to conflict, displacement and exploitation, and supporting their reintegration into community life through sustainable protective mechanisms.
Safeguarding and referral
Working with communities and authorities on identification, safe reporting and referral routes that keep functioning without us.
Reintegration support
Accompanying people returning to their communities, both the practical steps and the community-level work that decides whether a return holds.
Protective mechanisms
Helping communities establish the committees and practices that make protection a standing capability rather than a project.
