MAIN ACTIVITIES
Protection Cluster
■ In May 2021, 560 protection incidents were recorded by the protection monitoring system, including 455 incidents against men, 76 against women, ten against boys, and 19 against girls. The region of Mopti remains the most affected by these incidents (39%) followed by Gao (24%). As a reminder, in April, 635 protection incidents were recorded by the protection monitoring system.
■ In May, the Commission Mouvement de Population (CMP) published April’s report on population movements, which indicated the presence of more than 372,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Mali. In April 2021, 129 displacement sites were assessed. As such, the report notes that in 49% of the sites, IDP children did not attend school during the assessment period, and that women do not feel safe in 16% of the sites.
■ UNHCR, through the Protection Cluster, developed and published a Guidance note on protection in emergencies.
The note provides guidance to protection partners and donors on the activities and response modalities to prioritize during a protection emergency in Mali, thus ultimately enabling the development of responses that are more suited to the context.
