New Video! Roundtable on including Sexual Harassment in the Prevention of Sexual Violence in International Development

I had the the pleasure of moderating this timely roundtable on March 17, 2022, entitled: “For a more effective strategy in the fight against sexual violence: sexual harassment, a form of violence that should be prevented in international cooperation.”

This event highlighted the different realities and issues experienced by international cooperation/development organizations and their partners in the Global South and deepened dialogue, while providing an important opportunity for knowledge building and sharing in order to better address all forms of sexual violence, including sexual harassment, within organizations and in relations with partner NGOs and local communities.

The event was organized by the Comité québécois femmes et développement (CQFD) of AQOCI.

As a contribution to this reflection, the fifth CQFD summary sheet on sexual violence was launched (in French).

Following this event, the CQFD-AQOCI Committee on Sexual Violence will be updating and translating these summary sheets, and be able to better contribute to proposing best practices and mechanisms to prevent and address this problem within international cooperation/development organizations and with their international partners.

The event was in French with simultaneous translation in French, English and Spanish. The video recording is available here.
