•

The Director of the Office of Democratic Institutions and Human Rights, Ingibjörg Sólrún Gísladóttir,replies to a request from seven election observers to increase efforts to end sexual harassment in election observation. A group of observers already wrote to ODIHR about the same problem in 2015, and with a concrete proposal to create dedicated positions that would investigate, train and monitor issues and cases of sexual harassment in each election observation mission. The proposal had been welcomed by the head of the OSCE-ODIHR parliamentary election observation in Ukraine in Sept-Dec 2015. However there was no response to the 2015 proposal, neither from ODIHR nor the Nordic countries and recruitment agencies that received copies of the proposal.

Preventing and ending sexual harassment in the workplace.pptx
What does it take to end sexual harassment in the workplace, which has not budget in decades? According to a May-June 2020 Forbes article by Frank Dobbin and Alexandra Kavin, compliance-based training has backfired and resulted in men feeling targeted as vilains, men becoming more accepting of sexual harassment, blaming women more and a reduction in women in senior jobs. Article here: https://hbr.org/2020/05/why-sexual-harassment-programs-backfire Another strong advocate for more effective training in this area is Felicity Menzies, who authored this excellent piece: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/respect-work-your-sexual-harassment-training-fit-purpose-menzies-bthjc/?trackingId=T2SpuZslT1iwREb%2FCySO4g%3D%3D Another resource I used for this talk is the excellent UN Women Report (2019): What will it take? Promoting cultural change to end sexual harassment. I wish to thank UN Women for including me in its Feminist Think Space in New York in July 2018, where global leaders in the effort to end sexual harassment met, including Dr Catharine MacKinnon. I also drew on statistics from the World Bank's Women, Business and the Law in this presentation: https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2024/03/04/new-data-show-massive-wider-than-expected-global-gender-gap
Protection against sexual exploitation and abuse (PSEA)
On 23 June 2022, the UN Connecting Business Initiative #CBI outlined humanitarian principles, engaging with local communities and how to prevent and respond to sexual exploitation and abuse (PSEA) of people affected by crises. These are my slides, which gives an idea of the PSEA efforts. My introductory remarks:
Thank you for inviting me and for putting the need for safe humanitarian operations for all on the agenda today. I feel for everyone who suffers the consequences of war in your country. It is impressive how people, businesses, authorities and civil society in Ukraine have stepped up to assist victims and to adapt their activities to a new and challenging reality.
This is my second time to work in beautiful Ukraine. I was election observer in Cherkasy during two months in 2015 and fell for your people and country. Last week I arrived in Lviv and my job is coordinate efforts of national and international entities to prevent and respond to sexual exploitation and abuse of people seeking humanitarian assistance, committed by those who are tasked to assist. Helpers abusing those they are meant to help sounds like a contradiction of terms, and it is. Yet it happens, and more often than we know, because globally, around 80 percent of survivors of gender-based violence do not report the acts.
Aid workers, whether they are from an international organization, civil society, private companies or government entities, are expected to show the highest standards of behavior. We have job contracts, staff rules and codes of conduct that everyone must sign in order to be taken on. Abuse of power is a no-no. Aid workers meet people who might be destitute, or who have lost family members, who have health issues such as a disability after attacks or disasters, or they have lost their homes, their jobs, access to school or studies or the support of their family and community networks. Media have covered how some aid workers take advantage of their position distributing assistance or recruiting staff to demand sex from particularly women and children under 18. Most of the perpetrators are men, but there are examples of women who take advantage of vulnerable groups as well. In 2016, a Norwegian woman in her 50s who worked at a centre for asylum seekers demanded sex in return for helping a male Syrian refugee who was 22 years old with job applications and money for clothes and trips. She offered him a room at her house where she lived with her husband and cajoled the young man to have sex with her when her husband was not home. The refugee and other male asylum seekers told journalists and showed text messages that proved that several female employees and volunteers at emergency shelters for refugees had propositioned them. I feel sick to my stomach when I read about such exploitation, no matter who commits it.
We can all learn from the Ukrainian writer, feminist, activist and polyglot Nataliya Kobrynska. She was born in 1851 in Beleluia.
How to end sexual misconduct - IFRC Africa region
Survivors and those most at risk of sexual misconduct are best placed to guide the prevention and response to such misdeeds. There is a need to hire more people, and especially women and other under-represented groups, from the global south to humanitarian and development organisations in order to make programmes safer, more effective and relevant to the local population. The presentation was given at an all-staff online meeting of IFRC in Africa on 28 Sept 2021.

IFRC's PSEA policy
Outline of IFRC's work to prevent and respond to aid workers' sexual exploitation and abuse of people struck by disasters and other emergencies. This presentation is for a group of human resources staff, so there is some focus on HR aspects.
Webinar #PSEA survivor-centered approach
A survivor-centered approach is key to ensure access to healthcare, psychosocial support, legal assistance, livelihood alternatives, safe shelter, and other potential life-saving services for those who've been sexually exploited and abused by aid workers, peacekeepers and others preying on vulnerable groups. In the decades since UN peacekeepers and UN civilian staff, NGOs and diplomats were found to sexually abuse and exploit local women and children in Cambodia (1991-1993) during UNTAC, too little has been done to provide services to the survivors.
Survivors need access to Post-exposure Preventive Kits within 72 hours of an assault. It is necessary for aid organisations to consult intensively with local women's associations, organisations for people with disabilities, LGBTIQ organisations and those representing other minorities and groups at risk, in order to develop safe, community based reporting mechanisms and map and vet assistance to survivors.
IFRC adopted its PSEA policy in June 2018 and is supporting Red Cross Red Crescent National Societies in developing their policies and practices. https://media.ifrc.org/ifrc/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2018/06/IFRC-Secretariat-Policy-on-Prevention-and-Response-to-SEA_final.pdf
I will hold a webinar using this PPT on 16 November, which is a preparation of participants for a PSEA policy writeshop scheduled for 3-5 December and hosted by the Finnish Red Cross.
The webinar is open to other staff and volunteers of the RC RC Movement as well.
Big thank you to Abby Maxman and Jennifer Emond at Oxfam US for valuable input to this presentation.
Talk at UN Gender Focal Point meeting 12 October 2018, UNAIDS, Geneva
Outline of #MeToo #MeTooUn #AIdToo issues such as sexual harassment tactics, using a survivor-centered appraoch, including these and women's security awareness in onboarding training. Role of bystanders/observers to sexual harassment is tricky, as most victims and bystanders are women and most harassers are male managers, according to research referred to in the presentation.
IFRC's policy to prevent and respond to sexual exploitation and abuse (PSEA)
This presentation that I held on 25 September 2018 outlines IFRC's newly adopted policy to prevent and respond to sexual exploitation and abuse of persons affected by disaster and crisis. It was held in an all-staff meeting at Geneva, with regional IFRC offices following via videconference. The presentation sparked a lively debate on, among other topics: Roles and responsibilities of managers, staff and specific departments, the IFRC practice that exists of not covering perpetrators of sexual exploitation and abuse by diplomatic immunity and the need for strict confidentiality in addressing SEA issues. We also discussed the importance of applying a survivor-centered approach, setting up appropriate community-based complaint mechanisms, provide assistance to survivors and working closely with Red Cross Red Crescent National Societies around the globe on these tasks.

Sexual violence and inequality; it's time the UN got its own house in order
How does a displaced boy being raped by an international civil servant in a war-torn country benefit from the UN resolution to end violence against children? Does a humanitarian worker who is sexually harassed or assaulted by a peacekeeper or contractor know where to turn for help? Who investigates and punishes the perpetrators? It’s high time for the UN to take action on how these matters are resolved in a way that respects the human rights of everyone affected.
New Banks, New Chances?
How will the new development banks (AIIB and NDB) being set up in China in 2015-2016 work in terms of gender and diversity?

Will they hire more broadly from diverse and underrepresented groups than the Bretton Woods institutions? Attracting, advancing and keeping people with the best possible competencies about development challenges and solutions is key to reaching the UN's new sustainable development goals (SDGs).

Value of Diversity at the Workplace Presentation by Tina Tinde at career for...
How does an understanding of diversity issues boost your career? Examples are given of how insight into demographic trends and behavior variations helps to make wise decisions and be in sync with the time.
A statistician, Nate Silver was able to predict the outcome of the 2008 and 2012 US presidential elections based on knowledge of, among others, demographic figures and trends.
For someone to succeed with their career and for a business or organization to be competitive, knowledge about diversity and demographic changes is important. A study referred to in the presentation found young people to be more concerned with diversity and inclusion topics than their seniors. Employers wishing to attract the best talent are wise to embrace diversity & inclusion and place value on the contributions from women and other underrepresented groups that include e.g. LGBT people, persons living with disabilities, indigenous peoples, various ethnic and racial groups, older people, and those living with HIV/AIDS.
The website with vacancy announcements is often the most visited page, and searches for “diversity” and “gender equality” are very frequent. An employer that wishes to leverage the interest in available jobs on the website and at the same time present itself as an attractive organization, can benefit from announcing its diversity & inclusion activities on the web.
Verdien av mangfold på arbeidsplassen Innlegg av Gry Tina Tinde på ANSAs no...
Hvorfor styrker forståelse av mangfold karrieresjansene dine? Eksempler gis på hvordan innsikt i demografiske endringer gjør at man tar kloke valg og er i takt med tiden. En statistiker klarte å forutsi Barack Obamas seier både i 2008 og i 2012 basert på kunnskap bl.a. om demografiske endringer. For at en person skal lykkes i karrieren, og en bedrift i konkurranse med andre, må man studere endringer i befolkninger. Siden disse endringene fører til stadig mer mangfold, gjør man lurt i å omfavne alle aspekter av inkludering. Temaer som i tidligere generasjoner var tabu, som kvinners ambisjoner om toppstillinger og funksjonshemmedes, eldres og homofiles rettigheter, er nå temaer som enhver bedrift og etat må bli god på om den vil hevde seg og få et godt omdømme nasjonalt og internasjonalt. Inkludering av personer med innvandrerbakgrunn og utenlandske talenter generelt, er nødvendig for å dekke behovet for arbeidskraft.
Diversity Candidates, What Next? Working in an International Organization
This talk was given at an online global career fair held by Terra Firma Associates, on 26-27 June 2012. More than 4,000 people signed up for the event. The presentation is about diversity aspects of being hired, working and advancing in an international organization.
By ‘diverse candidates’ I use a broad interpretation and mean everybody (the true meaning of ‘diverse’, perhaps), but here I will focus on groups that are under-represented in professional and higher levels in international organizations. I will highlight some challenges candidates face when applying to international organizations, and give some advice to recruiters as well. A backdrop is that most of these organizations were created 60-70 years ago, when nearly all international civil servants were privileged males with a homemaker spouse. Until 1973 a woman in for instance the UK Foreign Office had to resign the day she got married, no matter how talented. Pressure remains to this date in many parts of the world for women to stop working outside the home once she becomes a wife. When most international organizations were created being gay or having a disability was even more of a taboo than it is today.

A statistician, Nate Silver was able to predict the outcome of the 2008 and 2012 US presidential elections based on knowledge of, among others, demographic figures and trends.
For someone to succeed with their career and for a business or organization to be competitive, knowledge about diversity and demographic changes is important. A study referred to in the presentation found young people to be more concerned with diversity and inclusion topics than their seniors. Employers wishing to attract the best talent are wise to embrace diversity & inclusion and place value on the contributions from women and other underrepresented groups that include e.g. LGBT people, persons living with disabilities, indigenous peoples, various ethnic and racial groups, older people, and those living with HIV/AIDS.
The website with vacancy announcements is often the most visited page, and searches for “diversity” and “gender equality” are very frequent. An employer that wishes to leverage the interest in available jobs on the website and at the same time present itself as an attractive organization, can benefit from announcing its diversity & inclusion activities on the web.
Verdien av mangfold på arbeidsplassen Innlegg av Gry Tina Tinde på ANSAs no...
Hvorfor styrker forståelse av mangfold karrieresjansene dine? Eksempler gis på hvordan innsikt i demografiske endringer gjør at man tar kloke valg og er i takt med tiden. En statistiker klarte å forutsi Barack Obamas seier både i 2008 og i 2012 basert på kunnskap bl.a. om demografiske endringer. For at en person skal lykkes i karrieren, og en bedrift i konkurranse med andre, må man studere endringer i befolkninger. Siden disse endringene fører til stadig mer mangfold, gjør man lurt i å omfavne alle aspekter av inkludering. Temaer som i tidligere generasjoner var tabu, som kvinners ambisjoner om toppstillinger og funksjonshemmedes, eldres og homofiles rettigheter, er nå temaer som enhver bedrift og etat må bli god på om den vil hevde seg og få et godt omdømme nasjonalt og internasjonalt. Inkludering av personer med innvandrerbakgrunn og utenlandske talenter generelt, er nødvendig for å dekke behovet for arbeidskraft.
Diversity Candidates, What Next? Working in an International Organization
This talk was given at an online global career fair held by Terra Firma Associates, on 26-27 June 2012. More than 4,000 people signed up for the event. The presentation is about diversity aspects of being hired, working and advancing in an international organization.
By ‘diverse candidates’ I use a broad interpretation and mean everybody (the true meaning of ‘diverse’, perhaps), but here I will focus on groups that are under-represented in professional and higher levels in international organizations. I will highlight some challenges candidates face when applying to international organizations, and give some advice to recruiters as well. A backdrop is that most of these organizations were created 60-70 years ago, when nearly all international civil servants were privileged males with a homemaker spouse. Until 1973 a woman in for instance the UK Foreign Office had to resign the day she got married, no matter how talented. Pressure remains to this date in many parts of the world for women to stop working outside the home once she becomes a wife. When most international organizations were created being gay or having a disability was even more of a taboo than it is today.
