Course overview: Working with partners, the UN system, government authorities and collaborators on public health is a key component on prevention and response to sexual exploitation and abuse. At the same time, SEA (sexual exploitation and abuse) can be understood to have different risks and mitigation measures depending on the country, and regional context. This course is directed specifically to public health workers in Ukraine who are being strongly supported by the WHO. It teaches them to understand why SEA matters to them as a member state, and affiliate of the humanitarian system, as well as how they can hold UN partners accountable, cooperate in preventing SEA and supporting survivors and victims in Ukraine.
