Intersectionality “a lens, a prism, for seeing the way in which various forms of inequality often operate together and exacerbate each other. We tend to talk about race inequality as separate from inequality based on gender, class, sexuality or immigrant status.
What’s often missing is how some people are subject to all of these, and the experience is not just the sum of its parts.” Kimberlé Crenshaw<br>

IASC Core Principles<br>
22
IASC Core Principles Sexual activity with children (persons under the age of 18) is prohibited regardless of the age of majority or age of consent locally. Mistaken belief regarding the age of a child is not a defense. 1. Sexual exploitation and abuse by humanitarian workers constitute acts of gross misconduct and
are therefore grounds for termination of employment.
2.
3. Exchange of money, employment, goods, or services for sex, including sexual favors or other forms of humiliating, degrading or exploitative behavior is prohibited. This includes exchange of
assistance that is due to beneficiaries.<br>
23
IASC Core Principles Where a humanitarian worker develops concerns or suspicions regarding sexual abuse or exploitation by a fellow worker, whether in the same agency or not, he or she must report such concerns via established agency reporting mechanisms. Humanitarian workers are obliged to create and maintain an environment which prevents sexual exploitation and abuse and promotes the implementation of their code of conduct. Managers at all levels have particular responsibilities to support and develop systems which maintain this environment. 4. Any sexual relationship between those providing humanitarian assistance and protection and
a person benefiting from such humanitarian assistance and protection that involves improper
use of rank or position is prohibited. Such relationships undermine the credibility and integrity of humanitarian aid work.
