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

The document outlines Transforma's policy for preventing and addressing exploitation, sexual harassment, sexual abuse, and abuse of authority. It establishes a zero-tolerance approach, defines prohibited behaviors, and details both informal and formal grievance mechanisms for staff and project beneficiaries.

• Transforma maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward exploitation, sexual abuse, and abuse of authority, viewing these as serious misconduct that can lead to immediate contract termination.
• The policy prohibits sexual activities with children under 18, regardless of local laws regarding the age of consent or majority, and forbids the exchange of money, jobs, goods, or services for sex.
• Sexual relations between Transforma representatives and project beneficiaries are strongly discouraged due to the inherently unequal power dynamics involved, which are seen as undermining the organization's integrity.
• The policy applies to all individuals linked to Transforma, including employees, consultants, contractors, management, providers, volunteers, interns, and personnel from operational partners and project implementers.
• A formal complaint process is managed by the Transparency Officer via the email etica@transforma.global. Complaints must be signed, dated, and detailed; anonymous reports are not accepted.
• The formal resolution process includes a preliminary review to clarify allegations and gather evidence, followed by 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 breach of conduct that may lead to disciplinary action or contract termination.
