Improving Protections and Expanding Services for Institutionalized Persons in Iraq

Bookmark and Share

Heartland Alliance will work with the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs (MoLSA), the Ministry of Health (MoH) and the Ministry of Human Rights (MoHR) to improve services and training in Iraq's juvenile reformatories, schools for disabled children, women's shelters, and psychiatric units.  The project provides training to social workers and patient advocates, and creates overlapping systems of monitoring by government agencies and local NGOs in order to identify and respond to abuses, and pairs direct service with long-term capacity building.  Through this project, Heartland Alliance seeks to foster an Iraqi constituency for protection and care for some of Iraq's most vulnerable persons. 



Services Offered:
  • Training of social workers and patient advocates at mental institutions, orphanages, juvenile detention centers, and domestic violence shelters
  • Capacity building for government and local NGOs in monitoring institutionalized persons to prevent abuse and neglect
