S3E3 How can we improve safeguarding against sexual abuse in the humanitarian sector?
Manage episode 408917227 series 3330749
Why is it still so hard to talk about sexual exploitation and abuse within humanitarian agencies? What are we doing to safeguard against this kind of violence? While we are slowly building the tools and policies to combat the issues, there are still barriers and challenges the sector needs to address.
In this episode we discuss whether attitudes and behaviours towards reporting sexual exploitation in the aid sector have changed over the years, and learn that there might be reasons for optimism. Our guests share their experience in fighting for better strategies in preventing sexual exploitation and abuse. And we hear why we need more research into which safeguarding strategies are actually effective.
Our guests are:
Dr. Tessie San Martin, CEO at FHI, formerly CEO of Plan International USA
Theodora Suter, Regional Coordinator for the IOM, the UN’s International Organisation for Migration
Your hosts are:
Elizabeth Dartnall, Executive Director, SVRI
Ayesha Mago, Global Advocacy Director, SVRI
