This protection risk analysis offers a comprehensive examination of the deteriorating protection environment in Aleppo during the recent escalation of armed conflict. Drawing on protection monitoring, case management, and contextual analysis, the report identifies critical and high-severity risks linked to hostilities, displacement, arbitrary security practices, and systemic discrimination.
The analysis details how intersecting vulnerabilities—particularly related to gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression (SOGIESC), ethnicity, disability, and displacement—intensify exposure to violence, exploitation, and psychological harm. It also assesses the consequences of weak governance, the absence of accountability mechanisms, and the failure to uphold international humanitarian and human rights obligations.
The report concludes with targeted, actionable recommendations for donors, humanitarian and protection actors, and coordination bodies, aiming to strengthen civilian protection, expand safe shelter and cash-based assistance, and promote accountability and non-discrimination. It serves as a strategic tool for programming, advocacy, and resource mobilization in response to the protection crisis in Aleppo.
