Safeguarding
Reporting Misconduct
We believe that safeguarding is a shared responsibility, and your voice matters. If you, as a participant, employee, volunteer, partner, consultant, or contractor, suffer/witness/suspect misconduct (fraud, corruption, sexual, HR-related wrongdoing, or any type of harassment), we encourage you to speak up without fear of reprisals. Your vigilance is vital in maintaining a secure environment.
Note that in cases of actual or imminent physical risk, please contact immediately your local authorities for assistance.
Your safety is non-negotiable, and we are committed to addressing all concerns promptly and responsibly. Depending on the perpetrator please choose the right method for reporting it:
