While investigations are of crucial importance for the reasons set out, going through the investigative process can be very difficult for victims. This manual recognizes this; it considers the impact of sexual harassment and the importance of adopting a victim-centred approach throughout an investigation. It suggests a number of measures to lighten the burden on victims where possible, such as by ensuring all procedural steps are explained to them, identifying a focal point to serve as a contact point, and respecting informed consent and confidentiality. Applying a victim-centred approach is indeed a priority for all of our organizations when tackling sexual harassment.
