Protection

SRD’s approach to General Protection emphasizes safeguarding the physical and emotional well-being of individuals affected by the ongoing Syrian crisis. With a strong commitment to preventing harm and reducing vulnerability, SRD delivers tailored interventions to support people at risk, including internally displaced persons (IDPs), women, the elderly, and people with disabilities. Through integrated protection programming, SRD focuses on building safe spaces, providing Individual Protection Assistance (IPA), and distributing essential resources like dignity kits to support resilience. By collaborating with local partners, SRD works to create secure environments, foster community resilience, and enhance access to essential services.

Gender-Based Violence (GBV)

SRD’s approach to addressing Gender-Based Violence (GBV) focuses on preventing violence, protecting survivors, and empowering women and girls within the Syrian context. Recognizing that GBV is exacerbated in conflict settings, SRD implements comprehensive strategies to provide survivors with access to critical services such as safe spaces, counseling, medical care, and legal support. SRD also engages communities through awareness sessions that address social norms, power dynamics, and gender equality, aiming to shift harmful attitudes and behaviors. Our Women and Community Support Networks (WCSNs) serve as a crucial platform for peer support, capacity-building, and advancing gender equality.

Child Protection

SRD’s approach to Child Protection is grounded in creating a safe, nurturing environment for children affected by conflict and displacement. SRD’s child-focused programming includes case management services to address risks like child labor, child marriage, and abuse, providing individualized care to ensure children’s safety and access to needed resources. Additionally, SRD offers psychosocial support (PSS) and Early Childhood Development (ECD) services, which focus on the holistic well-being and development of children, including training for caregivers on positive parenting. Through these programs, SRD seeks to empower children and families, reduce vulnerabilities, and promote a protective environment for young Syrians.
