to Zero-Tolerance
For Physical & Sexual
Abuse & Exploitation
Mada is firmly committed to the global fight to eradicate sexual exploitation and abuse. That is why it has established clear structures and procedures for ensuring compliance with the zero-tolerance policy (PSEA).
Furthermore, because children are the most vulnerable, Mada adopted a policy on Child Safeguarding (CSP) from sexual exploitation and abuse.
This page highlights the policies and processes Mada has put in place to protect the people we work with from any form of abuse, exploitation and harm.
