This brief draws on research from the Democratic Republic of Congo to discuss self-protection strategies in conflict-affected communities and how peacekeepers can support these. It argues that those involved in peacekeeping operations still have gaps in their knowledge in terms of how they can support self-protection strategies safely and effectively. However, the authors suggest that some of these problems can be overcome if peacekeepers can find ways to engage with conflict-affected communities so as to identify their perceptions of priority threats, perpetrators, vulnerable populations, self-protection strategies, and protection actors.
