DIGNITY FIRST SOMALIA (DFS) prioritizes the safety and recovery of survivors. We believe that every individual has the right to live free from violence and fear. By providing direct service provision, DFS works tirelessly to strengthen case management systems and ensure that survivors of gender-based violence (GBV) receive the compassionate care and protection they deserve in their most vulnerable moments.

Gender-Based Violence

Our approach focuses on immediate lifesaving assistance through comprehensive case management and psycho-social support (PSS). We ensure survivors have access to emergency care and a robust referral network to specialized medical teams. By focusing on ‘Dignity First,’ our program aims for long-term healing, empowering individuals to reclaim their lives and fostering a community that actively rejects GBV.
