CANADEM and its partners have a no-tolerance policy for inaction to prevent, respond to and follow up on alleged cases of Sexual Exploitation, Abuse (https://www.canadem.ca/_files/ugd/add124_d0a1c71e1e2048489099add12e081b7b.pdf), and Harassment (https://www.canadem.ca/_files/ugd/add124_7c5b3ddfcc68480eaed81712fa798e7c.pdf) (SEAH). For this reason, we adhere to all policies, procedures and training of the United Nations on The Prevention of Sexual Exploitation, Abuse, and Harassment (PSEAH). CANADEM mandates all deployees successfully complete the PSEA online course (https://agora.unicef.org/course/info.php?id=7380). This e-learning course is composed of a set of lessons designed to raise awareness about SEAH, become familiar with a range of measures to combat SEAH, understand the impact on victims and the consequences for UN Personnel who commit Sexual Exploitation, Abuse, and Harassment.
