Protection Sub-Sectors
The Protection Sector aims to promote a favourable protection environment for approximately 930,000 refugees in Cox’s Bazar. This objective is achieved through child protection and gender mainstreaming, access to territory, justice, and improving the quality of life of refugees by strengthening existing community-based structures and fostering peaceful coexistence. The sector works towards comprehensive solutions and consolidating localisation efforts with the Government while addressing complex security and protection environments amidst continuing violence and criminality in the camps.
The Protection Sector, which includes the Child Protection sub-sector (CPSS) and GBV sub-sector (GBVSS), operates with UNHCR in the overall lead, with UNICEF and UNFPA leading the sub-sectors.
Lead Agency: UNHCR, Lead agencies for sub-sectors: UNICEF (CP), UNFPA (GBV)
