CIVIC

Behind every statistic of war is a human story. Here’s why #CIVIC exists. We work to make the protection of civilians a standard in every conflict. From local communities to global policy platforms, we stand with civilians caught in conflict. #CivilianProtection #IHL #Conflict

🌙 Eid Mubarak from CIVIC! We extend our warmest wishes to all communities we serve and around the world. May this Eid bring peace, and renewed hope for a future where all civilians are safe from the harm of conflict. #Ramadan #CivilianProtection #EidMubarak

Local communities are proving that dialogue is a powerful tool for protection. This #Ramadan, we celebrate their resilience as first responders in conflict zones. From Nigeria to Yemen, Community Protection Groups (CPGs) supported by #Civic, have de-escalated tensions.
