Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA)
Page Contents
At Cox’s Bazar level, the Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) network was established in October 2017 following the largest scale influx of Rohingya refugees in August 2017. The UN Resident Coordinator’s responsibility on PSEA in Cox’s Bazar is operationalized daily through the ISCG Principal Coordinator, and the PSEA Network Coordinator who is leading the efforts to eradicate SEA in the humanitarian response.
