5. Inside disaster risk reduction

6. 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 ?

7. NEUTRALITY

8. 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

9. VOLUNTARY SERVICE

10. 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

11. To Serve with Pride
To Serve with Pride: Zero tolerance for sexual exploitation and abuse by our own staff

12. 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

13. 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.

14. 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
(& address)

15. 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

16. UNIVERSALITY

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

18. 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
