A dispenser including a medium reservoir, a discharge opening, and a feeding device for feeding medium from the medium reservoir to the discharge opening, wherein an actuating handle is displaceable relative to the medium reservoir in an actuation direction to discharge medium.The dispenser includes a protective device with two partial shells interconnected in a protective condition by a coupling device for repeated decoupling and coupling wherein the protective device is attachable to the feeding device in a protective position such that in the protective condition the accessibility and/or maneuverability of the actuating handle is prevented, and upon releasing the coupling device an enable condition of the protective device is achievable in which the partial shells are displaceable relative to another so that the protective device is removable from the feeding device, and thus accessibility or maneuverability of the actuating handle is obtainable thereby.
