SGBV Resources

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.
