Since 2018, there has also been a significant shift in acronyms and terminology, with new words and ways of speaking developing alongside increased efforts to address the issue. But what do these acronyms mean and how do they relate to one and another? Sexual exploitation, abuse (SEA), Sexual Harassment (SH), Safeguarding and gender-based violence (GBV) are closely related but different areas of work. 

This webinar will provide an overview of the core concepts and aim to clarify similarities and differences between them. It will outline practical issues which may stem from the conflation between roles and responsibilities between GBV and SEAH practitioners and the practical harm which may come to survivors where this occurs – using case examples to ground discussion.
