About this listen

 In this episode, a powerful conversation with two women in parts of the world vulnerable to a heightened risk of sexual misconduct within the aid system Sandrine Lusamba is Executive Co-Ordinator from SOFEPADI - an organisation supporting the survivors of sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Khawla Al-Azraq is the Director of the Psychosocial Counseling Center for Women in Palestine. Both share the experiences of survivors of sexual violence and the holistic support mechanisms offered by local women's organizations. We hear about the importance of respect and dignity in aid delivery, the need for safeguards to protect those who report misconduct, and the challenge of engaging men in the reporting of sexual violence.
