Watch yesterday’s special Facebook Live event, “Is the International Sector Having its #MeToo Moment?” cosponsored by NPQ and PRI’s The World/Across Women’s Lives and held at the Boston Public Library. Speakers at the event describe the organizational and field-based dynamics that have left global aid workers at risk for sexual assault and harassment, especially at the hands of colleagues. Their insights should help inform all nonprofits on the self-reinforcing components of an enabling environment.

Amy Costello, NPQ’s Senior Correspondent and Investigations Editor, reported the underlying series and chairs this panel. Panelists include:
- Shannon Mouillesseaux, a former aid worker who was violently assaulted while working for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. In the years following the attack, Shannon has sought justice from the UN and worked to make the humanitarian system more supportive for survivors of critical incidents.
- Dyan Mazurana, PhD, a research director at the Feinstein International Center and an associate research professor at The Fletcher School, Tufts University.
We are deeply grateful for the participation of the panelists in this important event.
