REACH’s Value

• At REACH, we believe that all people have right to live their live free from sexual violence and recognized that there are unequal power dynamics across the organization. REACH does not tolerate discrimination and harassment under any circumstances and will take disciplinary action, which may include dismissal, against any worker who discriminates or harasses any worker. Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) is everyone’s responsibility and all staff are required to adhere to the Code of Conduct, that enshrines principles of PSEA, at all times (both during work hours and outside work hours). Familiarization with, and adherence to, the Code of Conduct is an essential requirement of all staff, in addition to related mandatory training. All staff must ensure that they understand and act in accordance with this clause.
• REACH is an Equal Opportunity Employer and considers all applicants on the basis of merit without regard to race, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity, national origin, age, marital status, or disability.
