The long-term goal of safeguarding actions  is to create an environment where all volunteers, staff, and community members feel safe and respected.

All staff in IFRC and National Societies have the responsibility to ensure that their interventions will not create further harm nor exacerbate further Sexual and Gender-based Violence (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.
