This 134-page
document aims to support aid agencies in preventing, being prepared for and
responding to incidents of sexual violence against their staff. This document is intended as a good practice
guide to help strengthen existing processes and support organizations as they
set up their own protocols.
While there are many competing terms and definitions, this guide refers to sexual violence as any act of a sexual nature that is unwanted or forced. It covers all incidents from sexual harassment to rape, including stalking, sharing sexual images without consent and sexual assault
This guide is not aimed at survivors of sexual
violence. It is intended to be a good
practice guide to help organizations strengthen existing processes and set up
their own protocols..
Sexual violence in
all its forms violates human rights and organizations have a duty of care to
respond to incidents of sexual violence against their staff.
