Motion:
It is proposed that MSF redefines the comprehensive care of survivors of “other situations of violence” and, in particular, systematically includes protection mechanisms within the integral assistance currently offered (physical/psychological/social).
Background and explanation:
It is proposed to redefine the comprehensive care of survivors of other situations of violence, to refer to these types of situations (civil unrest, riots, state repression, post-election violence, gang violence, demonstrations, etc.) and add to the integral attention the concept of prevention that consists in incorporating protection mechanisms (means to execute protection actions), and providing means to field staff to also care for survivors at risk.
Including training in safety plans, activation of support networks, identification/search for safe spaces, shelter, as the case may be, and providing awareness tools and protocols, without leaving aside the principles of MSF (transparency, humanity, independence, impartiality, neutrality, medical ethics).
