Protection is at the core of our mission, safeguarding children from abuse, exploitation, neglect, and violence. Our initiatives are crucial in advocating for and upholding children's rights to protection. By strengthening child protection systems, offering support services for vulnerable children, and enhancing awareness of child rights and protection issues, Nabaa plays a pivotal role. This commitment to protection ensures that children's safety and dignity are maintained, particularly through interventions during emergencies, which are critical for the well-being of the most vulnerable in crisis situations. Additionally, Nabaa provides safe shelter options.

By integrating education, livelihood, and protection under the child rights umbrella, Nabaa provides holistic support that addresses the diverse needs and vulnerabilities of children. This approach underscores the interconnection of children's rights, where enhancing one area, such as education, positively influences others, such as livelihood and protection. Our ultimate goal is to foster an environment where every child can grow up healthy, educated, and safe, with their rights fully respected and upheld.

Safeguarding measures are essential for maintaining the trust and integrity of Nabaa, ensuring the safety and dignity of all stakeholders. Our comprehensive suite of policies, procedures, and practices is designed to prevent and respond to various forms of harm, abuse, and exploitation, especially within vulnerable populations. Our focused safeguarding policies include:

• Child Safeguarding: We implement stringent measures to ensure the safety and well-being of children. This includes thorough screening of staff and volunteers, establishing clear codes of conduct, and providing extensive training on child safeguarding policies.
• Protection Against Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Harassment (PSEAH): Nabaa develops and enforces protocols to prevent and address instances of SEAH both within the organization and in the communities we serve.
• Gender-Based Violence: Strategies to address gender-based violence are integral to our approach. This includes providing gender-sensitive services, promoting gender equality, and enhancing awareness of violence against women and girls.
• Staff Conduct Guidelines: Clear guidelines govern staff behavior, with strict prohibitions against harassment, discrimination, and exploitation. We also provide accessible mechanisms for reporting and addressing violations of these guidelines.
