Daraasad ku saabsan caqabadaha ka hortagaya soo-sheegidda SEAH ee shaqaalaha gargaarka Itoobiya

Daraasaddu waxay baaraysaa caqabadaha soo-sheegidda ee shaqaalaha qaranka, iyadoo ku tiirsan 124 wareysi iyo sahanno ballaaran.

Daraasad cusub ayaa baaraysa caqabadaha ka hortagaya soo-sheegidda xadgudubka galmada iyo xanaaqa galmada (SEAH) ee shaqaalaha gargaarka iyo horumarinta ee qaranka Itoobiya, sida laga soo xigtay agabka ReliefWeb. Daraasaddu waxay diiradda saaraysaa shaqaalaha qaranka oo isugu jira shaqaale gargaar iyo xubno ka tirsan bulshooyinka gargaarku ka gaadho.

Habka iyo baaxadda daraasadda

Daraasaddu waxay ku tiirsan tahay 124 wareysi oo lala yeeshay shaqaalaha gargaarka qaranka ee shan gobol oo Itoobiya ka mid ah, iyo sidoo kale 16 wareysi oo lala yeeshay dadka muhiimka ah ee heer qaran. Waxay kaloo ku daraysaa sahanka 595 shaqaale gargaar Itoobiya ah iyo ra'yi-ururin U-Report oo ay ka qaybgaleen 1,369 dhalinyaro Itoobiyaan ah.

Daraasaddu waxay baaraysaa caqabadaha soo-sheegidda ee shaqaalaha qaranka, kuwaas oo isugu jira shaqaale gargaar iyo xubno ka tirsan bulshooyinka gargaarku ka gaadho. Tani waxay ka duwan tahay cilmi-baaris hore oo inta badan diiradda saartay caqabadaha soo-sheegidda ee xubnaha bulshooyinka la saameeyay.

Soo-sheegidda oo hooseeya iyo maalgashiga

Heerka soo-sheegidda SEAH ee qaybta gargaarka adduunka ayaa weli hooseeya, taas oo caqabad joogto ah ku ah haysashada dembiilayaasha iyo ka jawaabidda dhibbanayaasha. Tobankii sano ee la soo dhaafay, waxaa jiray maalgashi la taaban karo oo lagu sameeyay dadaallada ka hortagga iyo ka jawaabidda SEAH ee qaybta gargaarka adduunka.

Inkastoo maalgashigaas la sameeyay, soo-sheegidda oo hooseeya ayaa weli ah caqabad joogto ah. Daraasaddan ayaa wax ka taraysa fahanka caqabadahaas iyadoo diiradda saaraysa shaqaalaha qaranka ee Itoobiya.

Research draws on interviews, a survey and a U-Report poll to examine how national staff experience SEAH reporting.

A study examines the barriers to reporting sexual exploitation and abuse and sexual harassment (SEAH) faced by national humanitarian and development staff in Ethiopia, drawing on interviews, a survey and a U-Report poll.

Why National Staff Are the Focus

The study centres on national aid workers who are both aid workers and members of the communities in which aid is delivered. Existing research has largely focused on barriers to reporting facing affected community members, while this study turns to the barriers faced by national staff.

How the Research Was Conducted

The research draws on 124 interviews with national aid workers across five regions of Ethiopia, alongside 16 national-level key informant interviews. It also includes a survey of 595 Ethiopian aid workers and a U-Report poll of 1,369 young Ethiopians.

A Persistent Accountability Challenge

In the last decade, there has been significant investment in efforts to prevent and respond to SEAH in the aid sector globally. Reporting rates remain low, presenting a persistent challenge to effectively holding perpetrators accountable and responding to the needs of victim-survivors.
