Established in February 2010, HAND aims at improving the lives of youth, women and children throug HAND AREAS of ACTIVITIES
HAND is going to work on the following themes:
Protection of Children, Youths, IDPs and Women in Darfur
During the past six years when civil raged in Darfur protection sector in particular was severely affected by continues violations .Approximately 81% children in the rur
al areas are no longer able to get basic education due to the ongoing war, massive destruction, lack of financial support and instability in the region. Wide scale r**e cases are threatening the future of women’s role in peace, and increases all kind of violence against them. 75% of the arm carriers in Darfur are youth and children in the ages between 13 - 22 years. Protection is giving hope and opportunities for the young generations to raise their voices and yet to start their lives normally after the war. The hopelessness, jobless and the lack of educational opportunities push the young people in Darfur to carry arms, loot, r**e and kill. Therefore, our theme is to ‘Feed the Minds today to stop the war tomorrow’. Capacity Building of young generation
HAND plays a very important role in capacity building of young generation in Darfur through the project that has been implemented by HAND Partners before (scholarship for Darfur students, midwives training, peace building, reporting, rule of law and reconciliation). Through the efforts of the young generations HAND is building several projects including providing reporters to fill the gap in the human rights process in Darfur, end the exploitation of children and women, observe the human rights situation, assist in addressing the tribal clashes and raising awareness. Peace Building, Justice and Democracy
HAND is planning to play an important role in human rights reporting and reconciliation activities targeting local communities and tribes through grass-roots projects. Working with the people affected (directly or indirectly) by the military operations, the victims of violence, looting activities, the traumatized and the other victims of s*xual harassment, human rights violations, in addition to harmonizing the communities in the region. The theme of HAND is to ‘help all the reachable victims disregard to race, believes, s*x or concepts in Darfur region’. Different trainings (long term) will be provided to young students in transitional justice, leaderships, conflict resolutions persuasion, democracy, human rights and rural developments to enable young generation playing an important role in reconciliation workshops targeting tribal leaders and setting reconciliation conferences.
