Assessing and managing SEAH risks while working in informal camp settlements in Pakistan

Date published

This how-to note provides a comprehensive guide on assessing and managing Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Sexual Harassment (SEAH) risks in informal camp settings in Pakistan during humanitarian and emergency response. SEAH risks are often higher in informal camps than in formal ones due to the lack of structured oversight, secure infrastructure or established protections. Informal camps typically do not have organised management, leading to unregulated access to services and creating dependency on those in control, which can be exploited. This how-to note sets out practical actions organisations can take to minimise the SEAH risks in informal camps. While it has been developed specifically for the Pakistan context, lessons will also be relevant for organisations working in informal camp settings elsewhere.
