« Qu’est-ce que tu portais ? » Selon la personne à qui elle s’adresse, cette question peut être source de fierté ou de honte.

Pour mettre en lumière ce problème, des victimes et personnes survivantes ont occupé le devant de la scène lors de la Fashion Week de New York en septembre.

Cultural change is a cornerstone of WHO’s approach to achieving zero tolerance for sexual misconduct, but it can be complex and time consuming.

WHO's Department for the Prevention and Response to Sexual Misconduct (PRS) has designed specific training courses for WHO staff, collaborators and partners so that policies and new requirements are translated into practice and new cultural norms across the Organization.

Le changement de mentalité est la pierre angulaire de l’approche suivie par l’OMS pour parvenir à une tolérance zéro à l’égard de l’inconduite sexuelle, mais cela peut être complexe.

Le Département Prévention et lutte contre l’inconduite sexuelle de l’OMS a conçu des cours de formation spécifiquement destinés au personnel, aux collaboratrices et collaborateurs et aux partenaires de l’OMS, afin que les politiques et les nouvelles exigences soient mises en pratique et se traduisent par de nouvelles normes culturelles dans l’ensemble de l’Organisation.

Ce n’est peut-être pas ce qu’on imagine lorsqu’on pense à l’Organisation mondiale de la Santé : des tables parsemées de pinceaux colorés et de tubes de peinture, des gens en T-shirts et jeans tachés de peinture, de la musique en fond sonore. Il faut dire que ce n’est pas un événement de l’OMS comme les autres.
