Protection

GBV is one of the most prevalent human rights violations in Somalia. It knows no social, economic, or national boundaries. Africa, an estimated one in three women will experience physical or sexual abuse in her lifetime. Gender-based violence undermines the health, dignity, security, and autonomy of its victims, yet it remains shrouded in a culture of silence. Victims of violence can suffer sexual and reproductive health consequences, including forced and unwanted pregnancies, unsafe abortions, traumatic fistula, sexually transmitted infections including HIV, and even death. SCC is one of the local agencies working to gender equality and women’s empowerment, and to address the physical and emotional consequences of gender-based violence. SCC’s programmes offer psychosocial assistance, medical treatment and rape kits to survivors, and promote the right of all women and girls to live free of violence and abuse. For the last 7 years, SCC has been working GBV and child protection programme funded by UNICEF and SHF. These projects have been benefitted 2677 persons who are mainly women and girls from IDPs and poor hosting communities in Somalia particularly south-central Somalia. These survivors were made medical treatment, counseling, and distribute dignity kits. Some of them were created jobs that currently covers their daily life.

Areas of intervention

SCC is implementing software and hardware programs in the areas of WASH, Protection, GBV, food security, conflict resolution and peacebuilding, and Education. our local and international partners, with whom we have created real sustainable work; our workers, local and expatriates, who often cooperate with us for decades; the final beneficiaries of the interventions; local and international authorities; friends and supporters.

Over the years we have developed projects in a whole range of sectors: such as Health care and Nutrition, Vocational Training, Primary Education, Protection, and Environmental Sustainability, WASH programs for IDPs and poor hosting communities to increasingly complex and innovative projects – economic projects; support to small and medium organizations and Cooperatives; Capacity Building of institutions, both public and created by local civil society; protection of human rights; habitat and territory. We also learned to deal with humanitarian aid and emergency (environmental and social) and with the security issues that these interventions require. We currently read development projects as opportunity and sustainable.

With conviction and pragmatism, we want to go beyond the logic of gift whenever the conditions of communities we work with permit this approach: in Somalia and in the neighboring countries our partners ask for a real partnership. This means accepting with the courage to overturn our role.
