Protection

Safety, dignity and
choice for people at risk

Our protection teams provide confidential, survivor-centred services and work
with communities to reduce the risks that put women, girls and children in
danger.

Service areas

What our protection
programme delivers

Every service follows survivor-centred principles: safety, confidentiality, respect and
non-discrimination.

Individual and group psychosocial support, psychological first aid, community-based counselling and referral for specialised care.

Child Protection

Identification and case management for children at risk, family tracing support, child-friendly spaces and community child protection committees.

Anenasawa Chatbot

A low-bandwidth digital assistant offering confidential information on services, referral pathways and reporting channels — designed for basic phones and slow networks.

Our protection approach

Principles we do not
compromise on

These commitments apply to every caseworker, volunteer and partner working under CARi’s protection programme.

Survivor-centred practice

Survivors decide what happens next. We provide information, options and support — never pressure, and never disclosure without informed consent.

Case information is stored securely, shared only on a need-to-know basis, and governed by written information-sharing protocols.

Every activity is assessed for the risks it may create, including risks of retaliation, stigma or exclusion.

Services are designed with women, girls, people with disabilities and older people to remove practical barriers to access.

Response is paired with prevention: dialogue with men and boys, community leaders, and safety planning at location level.

“The measure of a protection programme is not how many people it counts, but how safe they feel afterwards.”
