Política de Prevención de la Explotación, Acoso, Abuso Sexual y Abuso de Autoridad

The policy outlines a zero-tolerance approach to exploitation, sexual abuse, and abuse of authority, defining these terms and establishing both informal and formal grievance mechanisms. It specifies that such misconduct is grounds for immediate contract termination and prohibits sexual activity with children under 18, regardless of local laws. The document details a formal process managed by a Transparency Officer, including preliminary reviews, investigations, and protections against retaliation for whistleblowers.

• Transforma maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward exploitation, sexual abuse, and abuse of authority, classifying these as serious misconduct that can lead to immediate contract termination.
• The policy strictly prohibits sexual activities with children under 18, regardless of local age of consent or majority laws, and forbids the exchange of money, jobs, or services for sex.
• Sexual relationships between Transforma representatives and project beneficiaries are strongly discouraged due to inherently unequal power dynamics that undermine the organization's integrity.
• The organization provides an informal resolution process where victims can approach the offender, seek colleague support, or request mediation through the Operations Leader or Executive Direction.
• Formal complaints must be submitted in writing and signed to the Transparency Officer via [email protected]; anonymous reports are not accepted.
• The formal grievance process includes a preliminary review by the Transparency Officer, a response period of 3 business days for the accused, and a full investigation that must begin within 7 business days of the preliminary review's conclusion.
• Retaliation against individuals who report misconduct in good faith is prohibited and constitutes a misconduct offense leading to disciplinary action or contract termination.
