IEC materials on PSEA delivered to Somali Region PSEA Sub-Network, as part of the humanitarian response to the drought in the region.
The Inter-Agency Ethiopia Network for Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) delivered 22,700 copies of information, education and communication (IEC) materials on PSEA, including the GBV Pocket Guide - a step-by-step guide on how to support survivors of gender-based violence, to its members in the Somali Region PSEA Sub-Network, as part of the humanitarian response to the drought in the region.
The purpose of delivering and distributing the IEC materials and GBV Pocket Guide is to address the heightened risks of SEA related to the ongoing drought. This includes raising awareness, and strengthening knowledge of SEA among local communities and humanitarian stakeholders through providing a dedicated source of information about what constitutes SEA and how to safely report it. The IEC materials and the GBV Pocket Guide will also work to build capacity among stakeholders to ensure context-sensitive, intersectional, gender-sensitive and coordinated SEA responses and awareness raising efforts.
