Human Rights Protection Activities Accomplished

After the collapse of law and order in Somalia for over sixteen years the country had become the scene of all sorts of constant human rights violations and victimization of the vulnerable and minority groups. In order to find salutations to the abuses of human rights in Somalia many organizations formed and (OSPAD) Organization for Somalis’ Protection and Development was in the vanguard of such organizations.  Ever since it was founded OSPAD actively advocated for the protection and respect of human rights in Somalia particularly in central and south of Somalia where OSPAD operates.

OSPAD has decided to intervene in the human rights disaster or human abuses perpetrated in Somalia through focusing on protection of human rights and prevention of gross human rights violations  OSPAD has come up with effective mechanisms of  INVESTIGATION, DOCUMENTATION, MONITIRING AND ADVOCACY. via investigating, documentation, monitoring and advocacy OSPAD has succeeded to document and investigate thousands of cases pertaining to violation of human rights ranging  from rape, torture, illegal killings, robbery, looting, sexual harassment etc which became ordinary acts and parts of everyday life in society in war ravaged Somalia. OSPAD has challenged 35% of the acknowledged cases by advocating for their rights and almost 28% of 35% of theses cases have been successfully solved or managed and the lost rights restored to the concerned victims.

Furthermore OSPAD has achieved to educate many Somali community parts on human rights and international human rights principles through training, seminars, debating and provision of other awareness building
