1. Protection

RADCI organization is deeply committed to providing a safe and secure environment for all individuals who benefit from our activity, particularly vulnerable populations such as children, women, and adults at risk of any form of harm, abuse, or exploitation that may occur within our areas of intervention.

Our organization, in partnership with government line ministries and like-minded organizations, is developing a collaboration system to ensure the safety and well-being of most children and women.

2. Child protection

RADCI envisions a world in which children are protected from abuse, neglect, exploitation, and violence in humanitarian settings.

Children pay the highest price for humanitarian crisis. Armed conflict, natural disasters, and other emergencies expose millions of girls and boys to unthinkable forms of violence, exploitation, and abuse.

We collaborate on identifying needs and intervening, and we seek consensus on child protection issues in humanitarian action.

   3. Gender Based Violence (GBV)

Violence against women and girls is one of the most prevalent human rights violations a cross the globe. It knows no social, economic, or national boundaries. Gender-based violence refers to harmful acts directed at an individual based on their gender.

It can take many forms, including intimate partner violence, sexual violence, child marriage, and female genital mutilation (FGM).

Safeguarding Principles:

We adhere to the following principles to ensure the protection and well-being of children:

• Prevention: We take proactive measures to prevent harm and abuse by implementing robust safeguarding procedures and policies.
• Non-tolerance: We have zero tolerance for any form of abuse, exploitation, or harm, and we actively work to create a culture that promotes safety, respect, and dignity for all.
• Accountability: We hold all staff, volunteers, and associated individuals accountable for upholding this policy and report any concerns promptly.
• Code of Conduct: RADCI has a comprehensive Code of Conduct that clearly outlines the expected behavior and ethical standards for all individuals associated with our organization. This includes guidelines on appropriate interactions, boundaries, and the prohibition of any form of abuse, exploitation, or harm.
• Reporting and Referral Mechanism: Individuals are trained on recognizing signs of GBV, child abuse and reporting incidents to the appropriate authorities or service providers. This includes understanding the importance of confidentiality, consent, and survivor-centered approaches in handling cases of GBV..
• Training and Capacity Building: We provide regular and case management comprehensive training to all staff, volunteers, and associated individuals on safeguarding principles, recognizing signs of abuse, appropriate behavior, and the reporting process. We also ensure that individuals working directly with vulnerable populations have specific training relevant to their roles.
