Attachments

In the context of Yemen's humanitarian crisis, a revamped Centrality of Protection strategy and action plan places protection at its core, recognizing it as the linchpin that addresses both needs and risks faced by vulnerable populations. This strategic shift underscores the imperative for a collective response that leverages the unique strengths and resources of humanitarian agencies and key stakeholders. Protection is elevated as the primary driver guiding interventions, ensuring that the most marginalized and at-risk individuals, including women, children, and displaced persons, refugees and migrants are shielded from harm and empowered to reclaim their rights and dignity. By embedding protection into every facet of humanitarian action, from immediate assistance to long-term resilience-building efforts, the strategy and its action plan fosters a more robust and sustainable response that truly meets the complex challenges facing Yemen today.
