Shaping the Future of Protection with Communities at the Centre

The Global Protection Forum took place from 04 - 13 November 2024. It included an opening ceremony, six core sessions and two interactive spaces. The Forum underscored the critical need to prioritise communities as the cornerstone of all protection efforts. At its heart, the theme of the Forum aimed to reinforce the principle that effective protection is rooted in active engagement with communities. It emphasised the importance of listening to those most affected by crises and ensuring their voices, needs, and capacities shape the design and implementation of protection interventions.
