HINNA enforces a zero-tolerance policy towards sexual exploitation and abuse. Clear reporting mechanisms are in place for staff and beneficiaries, and awareness of PSEA protocols is raised through ongoing training programs.
One of the critical components of our Protection and Human Rights program is addressing gender-based violence (GBV), which disproportionately affects women and girls in Somalia. HINNA operates specialized centers where survivors of GBV can access comprehensive care, including medical treatment, psychosocial support, and legal assistance. We also provide safe spaces for women and girls in IDP camps, where they can find refuge and receive support services in a protected environment. To prevent GBV, HINNA conducts awareness campaigns that engage community leaders, men, and boys in discussions on gender equality, the prevention of violence, and the importance of women’s rights.
