The department strives to inspire respect to nature and human beings as well as fighting against all forms of life threatening conditions and promote programmes that support, maintain and advance people’s welfare. It commits to intervene any action that directly or indirectly subjects human being to dreadful life, suffocates justice and peace or impinge on the dignity of human being. All interventions that aim at lifesaving, emancipating people from miserable conditions around all spheres of their lives in view of promoting the dignity of a human person are inevitably assigned to this department.

Hence, Human Life Defence department is never dispensed from fulfilling her responsibility of planning and setting up supportive environment in which all people are biologically, socially, economically, politically, spiritually, ecologically and culturally safe. Precisely, it will specifically address such challenges that include human rights abuses, limited access to basic social and economic services, food insecurity, marginalizing vulnerable social groups and destruction of environment.
