Description

#AidToo and growing attention to scandals of sexual misconduct in humanitarian organizations have profoundly shaken the sector. Devoted to protecting lives and human dignity, humanitarian actors navigate the dilemma of doing good in a context of power and inequality. While organizations have introduced complaint systems, whistleblower policies, and ‘zero tolerance’ principles, low levels of reporting sexual misconduct persist.

This practitioner seminar explores underlying obstacles to reporting, including distrust in complaint systems, which enables perpetrators to act with impunity. It also considers avenues for more effectively addressing justice for victims/survivors.
