Protection Makes Peace Possible
Conflict is inevitable. Violence is not. We work side by side with communities to keep each other safe — without weapons.
The Impact of Presence
NP protects civilians through unarmed, civilian-led strategies. Together with communities around the world, we prevent violence, respond to crises, and build lasting peace. Here’s a look at what that made possible in 2025.

We work to deepen community ownership of protection efforts, connect immediate response to long-term change, and honor the ancestral knowledge that communities have always relied on to keep each other safe.
