[FRENCH] Global Protection Forum 2023 - Opening Ceremony

The Opening Ceremony launches the two-week Global Protection Forum, that took place 23rd October - 2nd November 2023. The one-hour session frames the Forum’s focus on Prevention and Proactive Protection and set the scene for highlighting the role that protection actors can play during the ‘hour of need’ for communities affected by crises.
Speakers reflected on what we understand by ‘prevention’ and ‘proactive protection’, and why they are so relevant in an increasingly complex protection environment.
The Opening Ceremony attracted participants to the upcoming Forum sessions and highlight its role as a collaborative space to develop shared understanding of the theme, as well as opportunities to share promising practices that respond to the risks and needs experienced by diverse populations.
