Description :
The meeting is supported by the ICRC's regional delegation for Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay. The event brings together government agencies and specialists in interim protection programmes from the states of Alagoas, Bahía, Ceará, Maranhão, Paraíba and Pernambuco to discuss protection challenges in the context of armed violence in the north-eastern region of Brazil. The discussions focus on the humanitarian consequences of armed violence, such as killings, forced displacement, disappearances, excessive use of public force, effects on mental health and restrictions on access to essential public services. The PPPros are a pioneering initiative launched by the state of Ceará, consisting of temporary measures taken by government bodies to ensure the safety of people in situations of immediate danger.
