This study was commissioned by Civil Society Organisations for Peace in Northern Uganda (CSOPNU) in an attempt to close the identified gap in analysis on the issue of humanitarian protection in northern Uganda. The study was designed to collate general information on the overall protection environment in the region, and to illustrate with examples the critical protection threats and protection gaps identified by women and men affected by the war in northern Uganda. The main purpose of the document is to serve as a tool for lobbying and advocacy on humanitarian protection in Uganda, and it is hoped that it will be utilised by advocates for influencing key players in the GoU, donor governments, the UN, and other multilateral organizations.
