Right to Protection

About this project

ltpgtThe insecurity has been rife in Cabo Delgado province since 2017. It is estimated that more than 800,000 people have been displaced from their homes due to recurrent armed attacks. This scenario has taken a new turn since August 2022 when Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) began returning to their areas of origin with large movements to Quissanga, Mocimboa da Praia, Palma and Mueda. By the end of 2023, according to the authorities, at least 64,000 IDPs had returned to Quissanga district (DQ) and humanitarian actors are still reporting a significant increase in numbers on a monthly basis. It is customary for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) to return to their homes as soon as it is safe to do so. Therefore, the level of deterioration of infrastructure and sources of income has increased the risks of protection. On the one hand, the difficulties faced by returnees have increased the levels of stress, anguish and anxiety, causing psychological damage to children and their families. On the other hand, protection risks have been noted through the increase in early unions, early pregnancies, children being associated with armed groups, sexual abuse and exploitation. Faced with these challenges, the project aims to prevent and mitigate these problems by:ltbrgt- Vulnerable displaced and returnee children receive support with case management services through improved access and reduced exposure to risks, including GBV and UA cases.ltbrgtlt/pgt
