Safety & Protection
Protecting the rights and dignity of people in crisis
Conflict and displacement expose people to violence, exploitation, and abuse. HopeAid's protection programs work to keep people safe -- providing legal aid, gender-based violence prevention and response, child protection, and advocacy for the rights of displaced people in some of the world's most dangerous environments.
Our Safety & Protection Work
Gender-Based Violence Response
HopeAid operates the largest network of women and girls safe spaces in conflict-affected settings -- providing GBV prevention, survivor support, legal assistance, and psychosocial care.
Legal Protection & Documentation
Without legal documents, displaced people are invisible -- unable to access services, education, or employment. HopeAid's legal teams help hundreds of thousands of people secure their rights.
Child Protection
Conflict puts children at extreme risk of separation, exploitation, and trafficking. HopeAid's child protection teams identify at-risk children, reunite separated families, and provide case management.
