CISP's protection programme PDF Print

Rights

Feeling safe and protected is a fundamental right and an indispensable requisite to develop emotional wellbeing.

 

CISP works to create a protective environment for women and children, and to prevent and respond to violations committed against them. The establishment of community based protection and risk mitigation mechanisms is at the core of CISP’s effort.

 

Actions

CISP protection activities began at the end of 2008, when Galgaduud became one of the main recipients of IDPs from other regions. In 2012 CISP started a protection intervention in Mogadishu, in the districts of Bondhere, Yaqshid and Karaan.

 

With the active involvement of the communities, CISP is supporting the Mother and Child Health Centres (MCHs) in order to guarantee access to qualitative medical treatment and psychosocial counseling for women and girls victim of forms of sexual related violence.

 

Survivors unable to afford medical treatment will be exempted from paying the fees through a voucher for health care system. A referral system for severe cases is set up and the community is further involved in the development of a referral mechanism to the health centres.

 

CISP is part of the network of service providers that collects data on GBV cases through the GBV Information Management System. CISP has signed the Information Sharing Protocol that commits the NGO to share with UNHCR the data collected and allows the NGO to access the consolidated data.
