Protection and human rights

The most vulnerable and exposed communities to human rights and protection-related incidents are attributed to the marginalized and minority communities because they are susceptible to these incidents because of their socio-economic, legal and political standing in the society at large. Members of these communities are prone to all forms of human rights and protection concerns including sexual and gender based violence, violence against children, child soldiering, child labour, early and forced marriages and Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). All these misfortunes happen due to their vulnerabilities and lack of strong political representation in the decision-making organs of the government and articulate and outspoken representatives. SASMO undertakes activities intended to protect these communities from the above-mentioned protection and human rights concerns by working closely with the legal and judicial entities as well as humanitarian agencies in human rights and protection. The marginalized and minorities are actually populations of concern.
