Behind every statistic of war is a human story.

Here’s why #CIVIC exists. We work to make the protection of civilians a standard in every conflict. From local communities to global policy platforms, we stand with civilians caught in conflict.

Effective protection means understanding how conflict affects women, men, boys, and girls differently—and responding to all of these realities.

[CIVIC @CivCenter]

Conflict is not gender-blind. When protection mechanisms fail to include diverse perspectives, critical, life-saving risks remain completely unseen.

[CIVIC @CivCenter]

When women actively join community-based protection, communities build stronger response mechanism. Ukraine, Somalia and Yemen are concrete examples.

How to reach people trapped in conflict zones?

At our latest #InternConnected-TraineeTalk, EU Amb Deike Potzel, Clara Buelhoff @ICRC & Omar Ahmed Abenza @CivCenter discussed humanitarian negotiations.

Trust, dialogue & engagement remain crucial – this is what the EU stands for.

[CIVIC @CivCenter]

New #CIVIC research from Mali, Somalia, Ukraine, and Yemen shows how gender-responsive and inclusive community-based protection leads to stronger protection outcomes for communities.

🇺🇸 The United States has now reportedly killed at least 205 civilians in a campaign of unlawful strikes against vessels in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean.

At CIVIC we strongly condemn these extrajudicial killings.

[Annie Shiel @annieshiel]

The United States' murder campaign in the Caribbean and Pacific has now killed over 200 civilians with impunity.

This normalization cannot continue.

[CIVIC @CivCenter]

It’s not just bullets and bombs.

Today’s wars are fought beyond the battlefield.

Information warfare spreads fear, hate, and falsehoods with consequences for civilians.

[CIVIC @CivCenter]

While we celebrate, our thoughts remain with the civilians and communities enduring the heavy hardships of conflict.

In moments of reflection like Eid, we are reminded of the urgent responsibility to protect those affected by conflict.
