Eradicating sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) and sexual harassment in the workplace is a priority for the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). SEA and sexual harassment both constitute sexual misconduct and have no place in OCHA. It is important to understand that these offences are the result of unequal power relations, abuse of power and, in most cases, gender bias. SEA and sexual harassment compromise trust, weaken humanitarian action and violate United Nations principles and codes of conduct.
