Child protection and gender-based violence capacity statement
This statement explains the gender-based violence risks across Somalia and Plan's work with communities to address them.
Plan International Somalia
Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that has been operating in Somalia since 2019; tackling the root causes of the challenges and inequalities that children and young girls face.
We are a vocal advocate for girls’ rights, specifically on child marriage and female genital mutilation.
Our work focuses on promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment within our protection and humanitarian response programmes.
Currently, we are implementing programmes in the Waqooyi Galbeedi, Sool, Sanaag and Togdheer regions.
We won’t stop until we are all equal.
Our priorities include:
- Increasing access to quality, gender-responsive protection for children and their families.
- Advocating for gender equality and girls’ rights with the government and civil society.
- Responding to large scale displacement, outbreaks of disease and disaster risks such as droughts, floods and cyclones.
