Speak out on violations

  • What led your organization to make the commitment?

    Report the Abuse (RTA) grew out of a call to action that became evident after Megan Nobert, our Founder, spoke publically about her own experience with sexual violence while working as a humanitarian in South Sudan. Our Founder’s public pronouncement was therefore echoed by a clear need expressed by other humanitarian workers around the world, who were aware of sexual violence in the course of their work – as survivors and concerned peers. This strength of voices forms the foundation upon which RTA was founded and operates.

  • Achievements at a glance

    Report the Abuse is the reference organisation for sexual violence in the humanitarian sphere. The movement is growing as more organisations have begun to speak out on the need to address violence against aid workers, and Report the Abuse’s advocacy keeps the issue of sexual violence from being ignored. The publication of the first ever global statistics on the issue, as well as the first examination of the international documentation of major humanitarian organisations to address the issue mark our first achievements in 2016.

  • How is your organization assessing progress

    Report the Abuse is assessing progress through two primary means: the publication of data and tools that illustrate and provide paths to addressing the problem; and engagement with humanitarian organisations to improve their prevention and response strategies to address sexual violence experienced by their employees.

  • Challenges faced in implementation

    The lack of previous available information and existing good practices presents a significant gap, which requires filling. Report the Abuse is already taking the necessary steps to addressing this challenge.

  • Next step to advance implementation in 2017

    Report the Abuse’s approach to addressing sexual violence against and within the humanitarian community is holistic and covers tackling stigma, encouraging reporting where safe and desirable for survivors, improving response strategies, and providing resources to support survivors. Through a combination of advocacy, research, and technical support, Report the Abuse will work to create sustained change on the issue, in collaboration with humanitarian organisations and sexual violence survivors. This will include the development of the first good practices to address the issue of sexual violence experienced by humanitarian aid workers.

  • If you had one message for the annual report on what is most needed to advance the transformation 'Speak out on violations', what would it be

    Cooperation and engagement by senior management of humanitarian organisations to shift policies, organisational culture and perspectives on the issue of sexual violence against humanitarian aid workers.
