2019 Syria Regional Appeal - Lebanon - Protection

UNRWA will continue to provide essential Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) and protection services to PRS and host communities, identifying individuals facing protection risks and assisting them directly or through referrals to specialized service providers. Protection monitoring, reporting and advocacy will continue to be prioritized through participation in global protection mechanisms and engagement with the International Human Rights Systems (IHRS). Critical prevention and response interventions for GBV and child protection cases, including case management, community-based protection mechanisms and empowerment initiatives, will be pivotal in the Agency’s protection work, together with the provision of legal aid services. In order to ensure that Palestine refugee children develop their full potential in an environment free from violence, UNRWA will expand its interventions aimed at ending violence against children in UNRWA installations, at home and in the community (EVAC); and addressing violence involving and affecting children in UNRWA schools.
