Protection from sexual exploitation and abuse: UNICEF IASC championship 2018-19

Under UNICEF Executive Director Fore’s leadership, the IASC developed and endorsed the IASC Plan for Accelerating PSEA in Humanitarian Response at Country Level (“the IASC Acceleration Plan”), which commits to scale-up PSEA through collective action and investment by its members.

The IASC Plan articulates three priority outcomes to be implemented as part of every Humanitarian Response Plan or Refugee Response Plan:

1. safe and accessible reporting mechanisms that can receive and respond to incidents of SEA;
2. quality assistance for survivors of SEA; and
3. the ability to offer survivors prompt, confidential and respectful investigations.
