Comment prévenir et faire face à la violence et au harcèlement sexuel dans votre organisation

This guide, produced by Friends of the Earth International, provides a framework for preventing and addressing sexual violence and harassment within its federation. It defines key feminist and anti-capitalist concepts, outlines manifestations of violence, and offers practical steps for organizations to implement a zero-tolerance policy centered on the survivor.

• Friends of the Earth International operates under a principle of "TOLÉRANCE ZÉRO" regarding violence and harassment. This policy applies to all federation members and external participants in their events, covering violence based on gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity, nationality, social class, economic situation, or physical and mental disability.
• The organization defines the patriarchy as a system that exploits women's bodies and labor for the benefit of men as a social group, maintained by traditions, education, and material resources. Violence and harassment are described as tools used to maintain these patriarchal domination relationships, particularly when women deviate from assigned roles.
• The guide distinguishes between three types of violence: verbal (such as sexual jokes, threats regarding salary or promotion, and non-consensual requests for sexual favors), non-verbal (including stalking, leering, and the non-consensual distribution of intimate images), and physical (including non-consensual contact, sexual assault, rape, and deprivation of liberty).
• To prevent violence, organizations are encouraged to implement several practical measures: creating action protocols based on the federation's five-step policy, conducting risk assessments to identify patriarchal dynamics, providing training on the federation's policy, and ensuring balanced gender representation on conference panels.
• The federation's approach to handling complaints is based on five core principles: zero tolerance, prevention, being survivor-centered, confidentiality and protection, and efficiency, transparency, and respect for deadlines.
• The guide specifies that if an organization cannot handle a complaint internally due to its size or because a person in power is accused, external trusted and competent persons may be appointed to manage the process.
