Protect Aid Workers

Our mission is to strengthen assistance to aid workers who have experienced security incidents, are under immediate threat of harm, or have been arrested and/or are facing legal charges due to their work as a humanitarian. We run a rapid-response mechanism that can provide, on short notice, financial support of up to €10,000 towards incident response and protection of aid workers. We support aid workers who are or have been threatened with arrest and detention. We monitor the situation of aid workers and raise awareness about their need for protection. We promote the exchange of good practices in duty of care for staff.
