Safeguarding the Rights and Dignity of the Vulnerable
We provide a shield for those most at risk, ensuring women, children, and displaced families have access to safety, legal support, and psychosocial care in times of crisis.

Access to health service is limited where children suffer malnutrition.
Vulnerability of women and girls to protection related concerns especially, gender-based violence in South Sudan is widespread and alarming, and a critical cross-cutting issue mainstreamed in other program sectors (WASH, Education and Livelihood) to provide access to appropriate programming for vulnerable, disaster affected and individual households.
