PROTECTION

Projects guide of Sanid Organization

SORD works to reduce risks of harm and rights abuses, and to assist people to exercise their rights. For example:

• Education programmes that provide safe educational spaces make children and youth less vulnerable. Here, they are less exposed to harassment and forced recruitment by armed groups in conflict areas.
• Youth education programmes reduce negative coping mechanisms and exposure to harm. This can reduce the risk of early marriage, forced sex trade, child labour, and isolation and tension at home.
• Information, counselling and legal assistance in conjunction with housing, land, and property rights reduces the chance of displaced families being evicted.
• Shelter programmes can reduce negative coping mechanisms and promote access to other services and rights. For example, fewer displaced families have to remove their children from school when they receive rent support in urban areas.
