IFRC addressing SGBV is everyone’s responsibility

Addressing SGBV is everyone’s responsibility.

All staff in IFRC and National Societies have the responsibility to ensure that their interventions will not create further harm nor exacerbate further SGBV-related risks. All staff and volunteers have the duty to apply a survivor-centred approach if they receive a disclosure about an SGBV incident. All staff and volunteers should uphold at all times the principles outlined in the IFRC PSEA policy. To do so, the PGI team has developed a package of IEC materials to increase the knowledge of staff and volunteers, including managers, on their duties to address SGBV in the communities they serve. This 7 mn animated video was designed to help IFRC staff and National Societies staff and volunteers to understand their roles and responsibilities in preventing, mitigating, and responding to SGBV, as per the RCRC Movement Resolution on Joint Action on SGBV Prevention and Response (IC, 2015).
