CONTEXT OF THE MISSION
Humanity & Inclusion (HI) is an independent and impartial aid organization working in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict, and disaster. HI works alongside people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, taking action and bearing witness in order to respond to their essential needs, improve their living conditions, and promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights. HI works to meet the needs and defend the rights of children, women, and men with disabilities. In emergencies, Hl's mandate widens to target the most vulnerable groups within any population, to ensure their equal access to appropriate relief aid.
Today HI operates in over 60 countries, with armed violence reduction projects in 24 countries, working in extremely fragile settings such as Palestine, Ukraine, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Afghanistan, as well as in countries affected by legacy explosive ordnance (EO)/mine contamination such as Senegal, Colombia, and Lao PDR. HI is a unique organization with technical expertise in four of the five pillars of mine action: land release and clearance, risk education, victim assistance and advocacy.
Explosive Ordnance Risk Education (EORE) activities seek to reduce the risk of death and injury posed by weapons, mines and other Explosive Remnants of War (ERW). Conflict Preparedness & Protection (CPP) aims to provide the knowledge and means of protection to reduce the risks of accidents during an armed conflict by preparing a plan of action before, during and after an armed conflict. It is focusing on how to protect people from the use of explosive weapons with wide area effects, but other types of armed attacks (such as the use of incendiary weapons or shootings) can be considered in CPP messages
EORE and CPP involve raising awareness of all members of affected communities according to their different gender, status and exposures to the danger posed by such explosive hazards. In addition, HI promotes behavioural change via information for the general public, community-based risk education and training activities. Our actions aim to support individuals and communities to find suitable and safer alternative solutions to improve their safety and security.
