Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (SEA) of those the UN serves is a serious breach of accountability and erodes the confidence and trust in those UN and affiliated personnel providing assistance. Formed in October 2020, the Protection from Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Harassment (PSEAH) Network of the United Nations Country Team focus on fostering a culture of greater accountability and protection from SEA at all levels within the UN and affiliated organizations in India by maximizing interagency cooperation and synergies to proactively and systematically address long-term solutions to SEA and with a view to increasing transparency and cost effectiveness in doing so.
The Resident Coordinators Office seeks to contract a dedicated interagency PSEAH Coordinator in 2022 to oversee the collective PSEAH response of the 22 UN Agencies and implementing partners in the joint Network.

The PSEAH Coordinator will be contracted by the UN Women India Country Office on behalf of the Resident Coordinators Office and will report directly to the (RCO Team Leader/RC) and UN Women India Office.

Note:
In July 2010, the United Nations General Assembly created UN Women, the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women. The creation of UN Women came about as part of the UN reform agenda, bringing together resources and mandates for greater impact. It merges and builds on the important work of four previously distinct parts of the UN system (DAW, OSAGI, INSTRAW and UNIFEM), which focused exclusively on gender equality and women’s empowerment.
