Inside disaster risk reduction

Exercise Each community member’s distinct needs – health, food, WASH, shelter (and settlements), livelihoods, non food items (NFIs) Each community member’s potential protection risks/concerns Each community member’s and capacities Consider issues such as referrals and partnerships that may be required in a disaster 10 minutes with ‘your’ community member; rotate for three minutes with each community member; stop when back where you started. You are back with your original community member: Does each point noted address the survivor’s dignity, access, participation and/or safety ?

NEUTRALITY

Exercise Develop a sectoral EPoA Each table is a sector - health, food, WASH, shelter (and settlements), livelihoods, NFIs Your Task Confirm population needs the EPoA will meet based on needs assessment Who is your target population? Review outcomes and outputs filled in in the EPoA. Your task is to make them gender- and diversity-sensitive and add extra activities to ensure needs are filled

VOLUNTARY SERVICE

Practice what we teach Voluntary organisation mandated to serve those in our communities, prioritising those most in need Our duty is to protect and to work without expectation for gain (financial or otherwise) We must hold ourselves and our organisation accountable to high standards in the prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse We need to do so, to protect staff, volunteers, and those we serve in the community It is crucial that we are all aware of guidelines and policies of the IFRC and NSs so we can prevent and respond in the right way

To Serve with Pride To Serve with Pride: Zero tolerance for sexual exploitation and abuse by our own staff http://pseataskforce.org/uploads/tools/1327932869.pdf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfMKMCYFgPo

Six Core Principles Sexual exploitation and sexual abuse constitute acts of serious misconduct and are therefore grounds for disciplinary measures, including summary dismissal Sexual activity with children (persons under the age of 18) is prohibited regardless of the age of majority or age of consent locally. Mistaken belief in the age of a child is not a defence Exchange of money, employment, goods or services for sex, including sexual favours or other forms of humiliating, degrading or exploitative behaviour, is prohibited. This includes any exchange of assistance that is due to beneficiaries

Six Core Principles Sexual relationships between staff and beneficiaries of assistance, since they are based on inherently unequal power dynamics, undermine credibility and integrity and are strongly discouraged; Where a staff member develops concerns or suspicions regarding sexual exploitation or sexual abuse by a fellow worker, whether in the same agency or not, he or she must report such concerns via established reporting mechanisms; Staff are obliged to create and maintain an environment that prevents sexual exploitation and sexual abuse. Managers at all levels have a particular responsibility to support and develop systems that maintain this environment.

IFRC’s reporting mechanism Main documents include: Anti harassment guidelines Child protection policy Code of Conduct Reporting mechanism (All 3 avenues have a duty of confidentiality) Line manager Head of HR Safe number – call center based in UK (& e-mail address)

Prevention first! Response is important but it is fundamental to raise awareness before an incident occurs Sexual exploitation and abuse can have long term impacts on all areas of a person’s life – including their health (physical or mental) & can lead to shame, exclusion or stigmatization within communities Youth and volunteers can be key advocates within the community We should not investigate ourselves; there are formal HR process & specialists

UNIVERSALITY

Storyboard A picture is worth more than a thousand words Universal planning method – no matter level of education, literacy

Storyboard your plan of action Separately. A4 paper. No words allowed. What is a key challenge you face in integrating gender into emergency work? What impact does that challenge have on communities/individuals? What do you do now to address this challenge? What would you do if you had a ‘free hand’? What supports are needed to make that happen (money, attitudes, tools) and who provides it? What would be the outcome of that change for individuals? Finish with an individual action plan – short term and long term commitment to GD in your National Society/Organisation
