Introduction:
CARE Iraq, in collaboration with The Lotus Flower, initiated a joint project on May 1, 2023, to address the protection needs of internally displaced persons (IDPs) residing in informal settlements.

- Caring for Child Survivors: Providing case workers with essential skills for the effective and sensitive care of child survivors of sexual abuse.
- Development of comprehensive training materials for each topic, including presentations, handouts, and case studies.

- Provision of post-training resources and support materials, such as guidelines and toolkits, to aid in the implementation of learned skills and knowledge.
