Putting survivors and victims at the heart of our work on addressing SEAH

Moderated by Dr Gaya Gamhewage.
In this webinar, you will hear from experts who have completed WHO-commissioned research into how the Organization can shift to this new approach, which will form the evidence base for the shift we are making to our policy and practice. And we will also hear from staff representatives on applying this approach in our workplaces.
This is the first of six webinars in 2022 on PRSEAH and a component of WHO's #NoExcuse campaign.

Thursday, 12 May 2022 - 13.00-14.30 CET
Positive masculinity to ignite cultural change for the prevention and response to sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment
Dr Niru Kumar - Mr Oswaldo Montoya - Mr Raul Thomas and moderated by Dr Gaya Gamhewage.
*To address culture change to effectively address SEAH, we have to look not just at compliance to rules, but at the silent forces that drive SEAH. Primary amongst these drivers is the difference in the power relationship between men and women (and minority genders). This is as true in remote communities where we work as in our own workplaces. In this webinar, we will look at the issue of “toxic masculinity” – the negative aspects of exaggerated traits considered (stereotypically) masculine. In its place, we are promoting the concept of “positive masculinity” as part of the culture change that we seek across WHO’s workforce and in all our workplaces. Join us to start this important conversation!*

Wednesday, 22 June 2022: - 13.00-14.30 CET

Ms Ghida Anani - Ms Clare Creo - Mr Ghulam Ghous - Mr Bujar Hoxha - Ms Nicole Kim and moderated by Dr Gaya Gamhewage.
