As a seasoned Safeguarding, PSEA & GESI Specialist with over 18 years of experience in humanitarian relief, recovery, reintegration, and development initiatives, I have built a career centered around promoting safety, dignity, gender equality, and social inclusion for staff, beneficiaries, and partners. With a deep understanding of power dynamics, privilege, and their role in creating and perpetuating safeguarding, PSEA, and gender-based violations, I excel in crafting and implementing comprehensive policies, strategies, and action plans to proactively address and effectively respond to instances of policy violations. Throughout my professional journey, I have spearheaded efforts to foster a culture of safety, accountability, and survivor-centered approaches within organizations. I have empowered both staff and beneficiaries to confidently voice concerns and take proactive measures to prevent sexual exploitation, abuse, and harassment, while ensuring accessible and confidential complaints and feedback mechanisms are in place. My expertise encompasses policy development, capacity building, monitoring and evaluation, advocacy, and intersectional approaches to promoting safeguarding, PSEA, gender equality, and social inclusion. I have collaborated with UN agencies, donors, INGOs, CSOs, and government agencies to create comprehensive responses to SEAH, including survivor-centered support services, risk assessments, and community engagement. I have demonstrated the ability to work with multiple stakeholders and has successfully collaborated with several donors, including FCDO/DFID, AfDB, USAID/PEPFAR, USAID/OFDA, UNICEF/UNFPA, UNHCR, GIZ. Global Fund, ECHO, CIDA, and SIDA. I have extensive experience in implementing safeguarding action plans in complex environments, including conflict, post-conflict, and drought-affected areas.
