Today we pause to look back — what a journey it has been! 💪 The VCA Climate Justice Program wraps up with partners reflecting on the strides we’ve made together for people and the planet. #ClimateJustice#WeAreVCA#VCAKenyaCloseout
The protection of human rights defenders has been at the heart of our day-to-day work since 2005. Our protection team, led by @Tabithador, Senior Manager Protection and Security Management, provides comprehensive support by addressing two key forms of protection: preventive measures, which aim to reduce risks before they occur, and reactive measures, which provide immediate assistance when threats arise. Through training, monitoring, and rapid response mechanisms, our team works tirelessly 24/7 to ensure the safety and resilience of human rights defenders across the region.
