The UK government welcomes ICAI’s recognition of the government’s strong commitment to and investment in safeguarding against sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment (SEAH) in the international aid sector. We will continue to prioritise safeguarding against SEAH in all of our work, including our humanitarian support across the world.
Our commitments are set out in the UK strategy: safeguarding against sexual exploitation and abuse and sexual harassment within the aid sector and the 2018 Safeguarding Summit commitments.
