You may be disappointed, but not surprised, to learn that we encounter episodes of sexual assault and harassment among the aid workers and emergency responders we serve. 

Headington Institute staff decided years ago to openly address this issue in our research, public presentations, online resources, training workshops, counseling sessions, and management consultations.  Over the years, we have helped victims recover, managers resolve specific situations, and organizations address the wider systemic problems leading to these behaviors.

Recent media attention to sexual assault and harassment has included our findings and featured interviews with our staff.  As a result of heightened awareness, aid and responder organizations are now expressing a greater willingness to proactively address this problem.

We will continue to aggressively address sexual assault and harassment until the safety of all is assured.

Thanks for helping us in this effort.  Jim
