Launched on the initiative of Olivier Vandecasteele, 'Protect Humanitarians' aims to bring together stakeholders in the humanitarian sector around the common objective of promoting the protection of humanitarians and strengthening support for those who have survived incidents (or their families in the event of death), with a special focus on local workers and community-based organisations.
Specifically, 'Protect Humanitarians' will focus its activities on the following:
Provide medical, psychological, material and legal aid to humanitarians who have been affected whilst exercising their duties;
Develop joint advocacy with decision-makers and raise public awareness of the need to protect humanitarians;
The development and exchange of good practices among experts in order to strengthen the psychological and legal assistance provided to humanitarians who are victims of attack
