ISDP’s Protection Department works to safeguard vulnerable populations from violence, abuse, exploitation, and neglect. The program prioritizes the protection of women, children, persons with disabilities, and other at-risk groups, particularly in communities affected by displacement, poverty, and limited access to protection services.

ISDP provides case management, psychosocial support, and referral services to ensure that survivors receive appropriate care and assistance. In addition, the organization works closely with communities to strengthen local protection systems and promote safer environments for vulnerable individuals.

Through awareness raising, community engagement, and capacity building, ISDP supports the development of protective community structures and promotes the rights, dignity, and well-being of vulnerable populations.
