The guidance note by International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) explores how to consider protection, gender and inclusion in the global response to the COVID-19 outbreak. The note highlights some of the threats to people’s dignity, access, participation and safety, as well as some actions to address these threats. It provides technical guidance on key messages and key groups at risk of exclusion.

The note highlights the heightened risk of sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) by humanitarian staff and volunteers as the COVID-19 response exacerbates vulnerabilities and power inequalities. It recommends adapting COVID-19 responses to the needs and rights of SEA survivors, and developing a PSEA policy and action plan.
