Social Protection

Protecting vulnerable groups through rights-based, community-driven solutions.

HUHESO Foundation works to prevent violence, protect rights, and promote dignity — especially for girls, children, people with disabilities, and other at-risk populations.

The Social Protection program addresses gender-based violence (GBV), child abuse, early and forced marriages, and neglect of people with disabilities. We engage communities through behavior change education, strengthen local protection systems, and support survivors with access to psychosocial and legal services.

Through partnerships with government social welfare departments, police gender desks, and peer educators, HUHESO promotes a culture of safety, respect, and inclusion.
