📢 Sexual exploitation, abuse, and harassment can happen to anyone – including our own personnel.
At the landmark @EU_Commission Conference on the Protection of Humanitarian Aid Workers, @CFSaundersUN called for renewed attention and resources to protect aid workers from SEAH in the line of duty.
UN Office of the Special Coordinator SEA retweeted
@UN_CAR has expanded scenario‑based pre‑deployment training for sexual exploitation & abuse. These context‑specific exercises help peacekeepers understand the realities on the ground & reinforce the responsibility they carry.

🇺🇳 Civil society organizations are our frontline partners in preventing & responding to sexual exploitation & abuse by UN & partner personnel.
They receive the majority of reports, provide essential support to victims & are known & trusted by communities.
#NoExcuse #VictimsRightsFirst
Member States are our vital partners in the fight against sexual exploitation and abuse.
Together, we are working to:
🤝 Promote joint action

👩👧 Mainstream protection in government systems

Collective action is key for recognition, financial support & a pathway to citizenship for children born out of sexual misconduct.
Every unresolved claim represents a child waiting for their rights to be realized: conduct.unmissions.org/en/pa…

.On the occasion of the visit of @CFSaundersUN to Egypt, @UNEgypt reaffirms profound commitment to prevention and protection from sexual exploitation and abuse among communities we serve as well as within the organization - supported by a strong PSEA network of UN agencies& non-governmental organizations chaired by @Refugees @IOMEgypt . #NoExcuse @UN_OSCSEA @UNICEF_Egypt @ocharomena @UNRWA @UNAIDS @IFAD @UNHabitat_Ar @EG_Red_Crescent
In Cairo today, USG @CFSaundersUN met with the inter-agency PSEA Network, with RC a.i. @CristinaAlbert4 and colleagues from @UNEgypt, to discuss strengthening coordination efforts in prevention and responding to sexual misconduct.
Institutionalizing this issue across the UN, civil society and government along with committed leadership, accountability and a survivor-centered approach remain central to successfully addressing this awful scourge.

#HonouringOurValues means working together to resolve paternity claims linked to @UN peacekeepers.
Member States should:
✅ Provide interim assistance to victims & their children while claims are pending
✅ Obtain DNA on a voluntary basis from all personnel prior to deployment
People affected by crisis have the right to receive assistance safely and with dignity.
No one seeking help should face exploitation or abuse.
On #WorldHumanitarianDay, we stand for humanitarian action that protects, empowers and respects every individual.

Protéger les populations, c’est aussi protéger leurs droits 🛡️.
Dans le cadre de la réponse à #Ebola dans la province de l’Ituri 🇨🇩, l’OMS et ses partenaires sensibilisent les communautés à la Prévention de l’exploitation, des abus et du harcèlement sexuels (#PSEAH).
À #Bunia, ces séances organisées dans les rues et les marchés expliquent les droits de chacun, présentent les mécanismes de signalement disponibles et contribuent à renforcer la confiance avec les équipes d’intervention.
UN Office of the Special Coordinator SEA retweeted
La #PSEA est au cœur de nos interventions.Dans toutes nos réponses humanitaires, l'UNICEF s'engage à garantir que chaque enfant, chaque femme et chaque membre de la communauté puisse accéder à l’aide en toute sécurité, dans la dignité et sans risque d’exploitation ou d’abus.

La Prévention de l'Exploitation et des Abus Sexuels est une responsabilité partagée. Ensemble, créons des espaces fondés sur le respect, l'intégrité et la dignité, et protégeons les personnes.

As part of the #Ebola response in Ituri Province, @WHO and partners integrate the Prevention of Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Sexual Harassment (PSEAH) across all response activities.
Outreach sessions in the streets and markets of Bunia raise awareness of people's rights, promote accessible reporting mechanisms and help build trust between communities and humanitarian actors.

Sexual misconduct by peacekeepers betrays those we are meant to protect. We need:
✅ Swift investigations
✅ Commensurate punishment
✅ Survivor‑centered support
✅ Stronger prevention & oversight
We must prioritize accountability to #InvestInPeace.
