WHO's New Policy and Strategy on Preventing and Addressing Sexual Misconduct
WHO has zero tolerance for sexual misconduct (SEAH), for inaction against sexual misconduct, and for any form of retaliation against those who report or participate in an investigation of allegations of sexual misconduct. WHO's new policy on preventing and addressing sexual misconduct (PASM) is intended to ensure that all staff and collaborators are held to a common standard of conduct, and that measures are taken to both prevent and address all forms of sexual misconduct.
