Protection in Somalia

Why Protection Matters in Somalia

Conflict, displacement, and poverty expose millions of Somalis—especially women and children—to grave protection risks. Many live in unsafe environments where violence, exploitation, and neglect are common.

  • High prevalence of gender-based violence (GBV)
  • Child labor, abuse, and recruitment into armed groups
  • Lack of safe shelters and psychosocial support
  • Limited access to justice and legal protection

Stories of Protection

Every protection case is a story of courage, resilience, and transformation. Here are some powerful testimonies from our work.

A Safe Space for Amina

Amina, a teenage girl displaced by conflict, found safety in an SFH-supported child-friendly space where she could learn, play, and heal from trauma. Today, she dreams of becoming a teacher.

Restoring Dignity for Survivors

Through SFH’s GBV program, Halima received counseling and legal aid after surviving violence. With renewed confidence, she now leads awareness campaigns in her community, ensuring others find hope as she did.

Stand with Us Against Violence and Injustice

Together, we can create safer communities where everyone—especially women and children—can live with dignity, safety, and hope.
