Executive Office Training on PSEA and Gender-Based Violence (GBV)
Start Date : 02 Mei 2026
Status : Ongoing
The organization “Voice of Peace” implemented a specialized training workshop targeting members of the Executive Office, focusing on sexual exploitation and abuse prevention (PSEA) and gender-based violence (GBV), as indicated in the training banner. The workshop aimed to strengthen the institutional capacity of executive members by enhancing their understanding of protection principles related to sexual exploitation, abuse, and gender-based violence, particularly within humanitarian and community-based work environments. It emphasized the importance of adopting zero-tolerance policies and ensuring that all organizational practices align with international protection and safeguarding standards.
During the training, participants were introduced to the core concepts of PSEA, including definitions, forms of sexual exploitation and abuse, and the ethical responsibilities of staff and leadership in preventing such violations. The session also addressed GBV dynamics, highlighting its different forms, root causes, and the increased risks faced by vulnerable populations, especially women and girls, in crisis-affected settings.
A key component of the workshop focused on the roles and responsibilities of executive members, particularly in establishing internal systems that promote accountability, confidentiality, and safe reporting mechanisms. Participants discussed how to create a safe organizational environment where beneficiaries and staff can report incidents without fear of retaliation.
The training also incorporated practical approaches, including case discussions and scenario-based learning, to help participants identify risks, respond appropriately to incidents, and ensure survivor centered support. Emphasis was placed on maintaining professional conduct, power balance, and ethical engagement with communities.
According to the banner, this workshop is part of a broader effort by Voice of Peace to institutionalize safeguarding practices within its governance structures and to ensure that executive leadership plays a proactive role in preventing misconduct, protecting vulnerable groups, and upholding human dignity.
Overall, the workshop represents an important step toward reinforcing organizational integrity, accountability, and protection mainstreaming, ensuring that leadership is fully equipped to guide and oversee safe, ethical, and rights-based program implementation.
