Sexual Exploitation and Abuse occurs when an aid worker or related personnel abuses or attempts to abuse his/her position of power to request or accept sexual favors in exchange of humanitarian assistance, ser¬vices, favors, or privileges.
With the aim to ensure the protection of affected and vulnerable communities in Lebanon from sexual exploitation and abuse and to spread knowledge about PSEA in Lebanon, ABAAD is launching a series of material, developed in partnership with CARE International in Lebanon, with the financial support of Lebanon Humanitarian Fund, and in coordination with the PSEA Network.
Among the tools developed are 4 awareness videos, series of visuals, a reference toolkit manual, and an application for all organizations and individuals operating in Lebanon, including those who do not have a PSEA policy in place.
