Social Inclusion


The National Societies of the Red Cross and Red Crescent in the Mediterranean carry out daily multiple actions in favor of groups in vulnerable situations, to promote changes that improve their quality of life and strengthen their autonomy, as well as their active inclusion in society. 

CWB - IMAGEN BANNER

To do so, the approach of Protection, Gender and Inclusion (PGI) is at the front and centre of their work. PGI emphasises the importance of jointly addressing those interrelated factors that increase or decrease risks and consequences of violence, discrimination, and exclusion. It integrates an intersectional analysis of how each individual is affected in a different way, by shocks and crises; a person-centred approach that entails considering and understanding a person’s specific needs, capacities and protection risks.
