Protection

Every child has the right to grow up free from abuse, violence and neglect. As a child-focussed organisation, this is our highest priority. Further, children need to grow in families and communities that are free from abuse and violence, especially gender-based violence.

AEE Rwanda works on preventing violence from occurring through training and awareness campaigns that change family and community mindsets towards children, women, and conflict resolution. 

We create children’s safe spaces and speak-out groups to where children are taught that they have rights and have a safe environment in which to share their experiences. Where abuse and violence does occur, AEE Rwanda works with local authorities and police to create safe and effective reporting processes and interventions that work in the long term.

Through our ongoing interventions, AEE Rwanda aims to create family and community norms that reject abuse and violence, especially towards children, women, and the vulnerable.
