 You know access is not a new concept nor is protection But rather by putting these together by placing access that protects as a core element of our collective agenda My hope our hope across the global protection cluster and all of our members is that we can bring some much-needed attention to this matter The first is how can we change the narrative such that access is not just about trucks But is about access that protects Do we believe we can do much more on this matter? In order to do this we as a sector need to move towards a more comprehensive understanding of access Access for what types of response access for what services access for what outcomes access that protects Second how can we tell the story and in this case the story of protection? We need access in order to be where it counts so that we can tell the story What is really happening in terms of protection violations on the ground and where appropriate? How can we get that story where it needs to be told? Third how can we be more present? Protection by presence. How do we make sure that we can be more present as a cornerstone of all of our access? negotiations and advocacy across the humanitarian sector and Fourth and finally, how do we negotiate protection outcomes through frontline efforts? Through collective humanitarian diplomacy, whether it be with armed groups through member states security council We have an opportunity now to look into the existing humanitarian access Systems and processes to further integrate protection lenses into these to gear our focus of these access discussions on the protection of people and the protection of civilians humanitarian country teams donors embassies coordination mechanisms all of us have a leadership role in supporting and complimenting such efforts
