Protecting refugees

People who flee from violence often have to leave everything behind. With few belongings, financial resources and contacts, they try to survive in a new environment that is often torn apart by conflict. Dangers such as persecution, exploitation, sexual violence and poor access to any kind of assistance are a constant threat. And then there are also many invisible and hidden threats such as landmines. People are often unsafe for years to come even when the conflict is over and they return home.
