Our Policies

---

We recognise that the work we undertake can bring risks of sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment (SEAH). We understand that these risks are exacerbated for vulnerable communities and that our work can amplify inequalities and power dynamics. This policy outlines our commitment to the prevention, detection and response to sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment in our work. It outlines the responsibilities to reduce and manage risk, and address such incidents.  To access a complaint form see the Quick Links section below.

This gender policy represents IHO’s commitment to take a cohesive and coordinated approach to gender equality. We aim to provide a secure and enabling work environment to all employees and contractors, and a place of work that is gender sensitive and recognizes the role of men and women as equal players. We put gender equality in the center because we know that we cannot overcome injustice and live sustainably until all persons have equal rights and opportunities.
