Last week @Refugees launched #NotOnlyMe, an interesting new way to support survivors of sexual harassment. In my final days with UNHCR, I am very proud of this important milestone in our efforts to ensure that survivors are central to the fight against sexual misconduct.

[Diane Goodman @goodman_ds]

We must all join together in our efforts to tackle #SEA. Thanks to @diegonnardi for the strong collaborative work in the #Ukraine refugee response in Moldova where ending sexual misconduct is a priority.

Congratulations on your #AcademyAward win Ke Huy Quan!

With more than 100 million forcibly displaced people around the world, you’re a shining example of what refugees and forcibly displaced people can accomplish when given the opportunity.

How many Ministers take a moment to bond with #Rohingya #refugees over soccer?

@HarjitSajjan of @GAC_Corporate spent the day to hear directly from refugee women, girls, boys and men in #Bangladesh. He also met with the ultra poor women in host communities.

A true delight!

@KellyTClements of @Refugees on the devastating scenes in #Syria where her team is delivering aid

+ How the @UN Refugee Agency is helping the 6M internally displaced #Ukrainians

[Diane Goodman @goodman_ds]

Communicating on #PSEA with the people we serve must happen at the outset of an emergency response. Great to see this proactive approach by colleagues @UNHCRMozambique.

[UNHCR Mozambique and Angola @UNHCRMozambique]

In Maputo Province, following the floods that affected over 44,000 people, UNHCR is delivering protection mainstreaming and #PSEA messaging to the affected population at various temporary shelters and centers.

[Diane Goodman @goodman_ds]

Just wrapped up a few exciting days of filming for our communications campaign about a new tool UNHCR will be launching soon to support victims of sexual harassment. Stay tuned for more. #BTS

Still looking for that perfect holiday gift? Head to Payot or FNAC and pick up a copy of “Seuls en exil” the story of 3 unaccompanied refugee children in Geneva. I had the pleasure to meet with @jpk73 and Christel Moretto at a recent book signing!

[Diane Goodman @goodman_ds]

Great video for Rohingya refugees to learn about protection from sexual exploitation and abuse.

This animated story explains what to do in case they face such a problem.

It is shown across distribution points and was made by the creative @bbcmediaaction @refugees partner.

[Diane Goodman @goodman_ds]

Thanks to Lucky’s skillful driving we had a great trip to Nayapara refugee camp today. Lucky is one of four female drivers working @UNHCR_BGD in Cox’s Bazaar, breaking barriers and stereotypes in a typically make-dominated profession!

[Diane Goodman @goodman_ds]

A stark reminder of why we commemorate the #16Days every year, and why we must continue the fight against gender-based violence today and every day.

[Bernardine Evaristo @BernardineEvari]

From @SaffronBurrows_, via @TheCircleNGO, this is an incredibly powerful film with a vital message at the start of this year's #16daysofactivism on violence against women and girls. Please watch, share, and support the vital work discussed.

[Diane Goodman @goodman_ds]

Committed leadership - as demonstrated by our leadership @UNHCRSouthSudan and our UNHCT partners - is so important in our efforts to tackle sexual exploitation and abuse and sexual harassment.

[Juliette Murekeyisoni @Joujouliett]

Good work is put into prevention and response of PSEA in South Sudan. Thanks yo UNHCT under the leadership of DSRSG/RC/HC Sara Nyanti. Together we can prevent such acts from happening.

[Diane Goodman @goodman_ds]

The U.S. Government’s engagement principles on PSEA & SH are a welcome development in our collective efforts to tackle sexual misconduct. We @Refugees have made headway in putting these principles into practice, but much more remains to be done!

[Kelly T. Clements @KellyTClements]

Could not have said this any better ourselves - @UN has zero tolerance for inaction in response to sexual misconduct - we aim at every stage to put survivors’ needs at the center. Prevention is best - tools & policies exist. Impact is what we seek now.

[Diane Goodman @goodman_ds]

Committed leadership makes such a difference in our efforts to tackle sexual exploitation and abuse. Thoughtful conversation with @AissatNdiaye and @Kwabena_AN on working together to do so in Rwanda, where it is a top priority for both organizations. @RefugeesRwanda

[UNFPA in Rwanda @UNFPARwanda]

@UNFPARwanda Representative @Kwabena_AN received the new UNHCR Representative, Rwanda @AissatNdiaye. They discussed strengthening their partnership in humanitarian settings and to further enhance the Prevention of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) in #Rwanda. @goodman_ds

[Diane Goodman @goodman_ds]

Thought provoking panel discussion and exhibition of victims/survivors voices at ExCom today. We have achieved a lot in our efforts to tackle sexual misconduct but so much more remains to be done, and doing so, together with our partners, remains a top priority @Refugees

[Kelly T. Clements @KellyTClements]

Privileged with @goodman_ds & dynamic @Refugees team with @ICVAnetwork to brief member states on serious efforts to live #ZeroTolerance for inaction to prevent & address sexual misconduct through support to survivors, culture change, local best practice & operational experience.

[Diane Goodman @goodman_ds]

Thankful for strong US leadership as we work to prevent sexual exploitation/abuse of refugees & sexual harassment of staff.
Great meetings and exchanges in Washington this week with @StateDept, @USAID, the White House, Senate Foreign Relations Committee staff, & @InterActionOrg.

[Diane Goodman @goodman_ds]

We should all be angry! Joining @DomiqueHyde in calling for an end to the horrendous conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the many others raging around the world. And for peace! 🕊️

[Dominique Isabelle Hyde @DominiqueHyde]

As I leave the DRC, I’m angry at the injustices I’ve seen.

Sexual harassment is a human rights issue. It remains one of the most rampant, normalised and prevalent forms of violence that affects women and girls.
