Victim/survivor-centred approach – a pathway to action
A victim/survivor-centred approach to Protection from Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Harassment (PSEAH) puts the rights, needs, and wishes of victims/survivors at the centre of all actions and decisions. This simplified guide outlines the seven key stages in PSEAH cases, from victimisation to redress, highlighting essential actions and recommendations at each step. It is designed as a quick reference tool for aid organisations to understand the core elements of a victim/ survivor-centred approach.
While organisations should refer to the full Implementation Companion for detailed guidance, the following resources provide the fundamental principles and actions needed to ensure PSEAH responses remain focused on supporting victims/survivors throughout their journey.
