If You Are Safe I Am Safe promotes conflict resolution between communities, non-state actors and between states. Primarily, we do so using the concept of mutual security, in particular by reducing threat and perceptions of threat between groups; this is summed up as 'if you are safe, I am safe'. Our work has been focused on Iraq, South Sudan and Yemen, with much wider potential for application.
