Trends in Sexual Exploitation, Abuse, and Harassment in the Aid Sector (April 24 – Sept 24)
Explore the key insights and trends uncovered through CHS Alliance’s Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Harassment (SEAH) Harmonised Reporting Scheme (HRS), supported by UK FCDO.
This new Analytical Report provides a six-month overview of sexual exploitation, abuse, and harassment (SEAH) trends in the aid sector. It analyses 178 incidents reported via the HRS between April and September 2024.
Key findings on SEAH trends against aid recipients and their communities include:
It is important to note that despite these efforts , under-reporting of SEAH remains a persistent issue. Aid organisations participating of the SEAH HRS only represent a small fraction of the myriad of organisations operating within the sector. Consequently , this report is not intended to be representative of the sector-wide trends of SEAH, nor does it claim to encompass the total incidence or prevalence of these issues across the sector. However, the trends identified in this report provide a valuable foundation for understanding key issues and identifying effective starting points for intervention.
