As seen in previous public health emergencies, a scale-up in humanitarian response increases the protection risks that women and children face and the risk of sexual exploitation and abuse. With over 400 participants, this webinar looked at how the humanitarian community is working to reduce these risks and support the most vulnerable. An update on the initiatives and priorities of the IASC Champion on PSEA and sexual harassment, UNHCR, as well as IASC initiatives in support of field implementation was also presented.

Speakers:

  • Ms. Diane Goodman, Senior Coordinator on PSEA and Sexual Harassment, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)
