Strengthening expertise in the field of protection from sexual exploitation and abuse (PSEA)
Oksana Ivatina, Project Coordinator of the NGO “Responsible Citizens,” completed a Training of Trainers on the prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse (PSEA).
During the training, the team received up-to-date methodologies and practical tools necessary for the systematic development of organizational capacity. As a result of the training, Oksana obtained a trainer’s certificate, which enables her to independently conduct training sessions for the NGO’s staff.
Today, PSEA is one of the key accountability standards in the humanitarian sector. At a time when organizations work with people who have experienced the traumatic impact of war, the creation of a safe space, trust, and respect becomes the foundation of quality engagement. That is why the knowledge gained will be integrated into internal trainings for staff members who work daily with programme participants.
“Professional growth of the team directly affects how people experience our support. When we develop our knowledge, it strengthens our mission and our work with communities,” emphasizes Oksana Ivatina.
We continue to invest in team development and to implement international standards in order to ensure a safe, ethical, and accountable environment across all programmes of the NGO “Responsible Citizens.”
