Women health workers are on the frontlines of crisis response, yet they often face heightened risks of Sexual Exploitation, Abuse, and Harassment (SEAH)—especially in conflict zones, displacement camps, and fragile health systems. On November 26, 2024, Women in Global Health convened a critical webinar alongside its global chapters to address these urgent challenges.
This report captures the key discussions from the event, highlighting the impact of the global displacement crisis, the role of community health workers (CHWs) in preventing SEAH, and the urgent need for stronger protection mechanisms. It brings together insights from global health leaders, policy experts, and frontline responders to advocate for effective Prevention of SEAH (PRSEAH) strategies, improved reporting systems, and survivor-centered approaches.
