PROTECTION SERIES
The Protection Series is a public, protection practitioner-driven learning initiative designed to strengthen protection practice across the humanitarian system.
Throughout 2026, protection partners across the globe will be invited to join webinars that are provided by protection actors showcasing tools, guidance and research that aim to improve protection outcomes in humanitarian action. This series will remind us of existing best practice and bring emerging approaches and evolving protection issues to the attention of the wider protection network.
If you wish to participate in Protection Series sessions, please subscribe to our mailing list
Partners interested in presenting tools, guidance, research, or emerging protection topics as part of the 2026 Protection Series are encouraged to contact us for more information.
