When people are forced to flee their homes, they often experience ongoing threats to their safety. At the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), we help to ensure displaced people and communities are protected, by preventing and responding to violence, coercion, and actions taken by others to deny them their rights.
Protection is about safety, dignity and rights. It is about people being safe from the violence or abuse during an armed conflict or natural disaster. We work to reduce risks for displaced people and strengthen their capacity for self-protection. From providing lighting in a camp to make it safer for women to move freely, to resolving violence through mediation, we strive to ensure that displaced people can live in safety and dignity, with access to impartial assistance.
Protection in its broadest sense has always been part of our DNA. Whether we are helping people access their rights through our legal assistance work, protecting children through providing safe spaces to learn and play, or providing families with a safe place to live, protection is at the heart of what we do.
We ensure that all our activities – our programmes as well as our policy and advocacy work – contribute to protection outcomes and meet rigorous standards, so they are safe, participatory, accountable and dignified for the communities and people we serve.
A total of 420,556 people benefited from our protection from violence work in 2024.
