This survey is now closed. It will open again for the second review soon. 

** This is a grassroots initiative organised by a group of women working within the aid industry, 'The Ending Sexual Exploitation in Aid Collective'.  Some of these women are public about their membership and others prefer to remain anonymous for safety reasons.  We would be happy to talk to anyone who would like further details - feel free to email sexualexpoitationreport@gmail.com. No academic institutions are connected to this initiative.  No names will be attributed to responses, and no identifying information will be shared.

Applying the Principles of Accountable Practice to Sexual Harassment, Exploitation and Abuse Perpetrated by Aid Workers 

A large part of our work in the development and humanitarian sectors revolves around becoming more accountable to the populations we support through aid - and rightly so.  In the case of violence against women and girls perpetrated by aid workers, however, it is our belief that change should be monitored and measured by the very people it affects.  We very much hope that increases in implementation and standards of accountability and basic reporting mechanisms are being put in place in collaboration with women in the contexts where we work.  However, we also want to measure progress made on the call to action laid out in our open letter.

The best was to do this is to collect anonymised data from YOU.  We will never reveal your identity (unless you want us to).  The results will be published here and CEOs/EDs will be asked for their feedback.  We will ask for your feedback again periodically to see if a change in culture is actually happening in organisations and whether we are being listened to. 

We will not reveal your name or any other identifying information in our report (such as location), however, we would like to verify the identity of a random sample of respondents - this is why we need your name etc. Thanks!
