OUR POLICIES
Child and Young Person Safeguarding Policy
Women Deliver has a proactive obligation to develop and implement gender-responsive programs that promote the health, safety, and wellbeing of children and young people. As part of this commitment, Women Deliver’s Child and Young Person Safeguarding Policy states that no child or young person should suffer intentional or unintentional abuse, neglect, or exploitation because of their engagement, association, or contact with Women Deliver, and is aligned with principles of meaningful youth engagement and Do No Harm. Women Deliver enforces the policy through prevention measures and is committed to swift, accountable, and transparent investigation and disciplinary procedures in the event of incidents or concerns.

Donor Engagement Policy
To help achieve its goals, Women Deliver seeks funding from a variety of supportive partners, including corporations, foundations, and individuals who are essential to its success. Accordingly, Women Deliver only accepts funding from partners that are compatible with Women Deliver’s vision, mission, and strategic priorities, and who exemplify good business and ethical practices. Certain products, services, or actors are categorized as disqualified due to their intrinsic harm to people, particularly women and children, and their lack of compatibility with Women Deliver’s mission.

Non-Discrimination and Anti-Harassment Policy
Women Deliver has a zero-tolerance policy against discrimination or harassment that is based on race, color, creed, religion, sex, age, ancestry, medical condition, physical or mental disability, pregnancy, ethnicity, national origin, military status, marital status, familial status, sexual orientation, predisposing genetic characteristics, domestic violence victim status, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state, or local law. Reports of harassment or discrimination or observations thereof may be made to management, the Chief Operation Officer, the Board Chair, or the ADP Employee Service Center. Reported incidents of discrimination or harassment will be investigated by Women Deliver, and retaliation of any kind against an employee who reports an alleged incident of harassment or misconduct is strictly prohibited.

Commitment to Preventing Sexual Exploitation and Abuse
Women Deliver will make every effort to create and maintain a safe environment, free from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (SEA), and shall take appropriate measures for this purpose wherever we conduct Women Deliver programs. SEA violates universally recognized international legal norms and standards and constitutes unacceptable behaviors and prohibited conduct for Women Deliver staff and related personnel, such as consultants and volunteers. Women Deliver has a zero-tolerance policy towards SEA and will take appropriate and robust measures to prevent and respond to SEA. Through this framework, Women Deliver affirms our commitment to the UN Secretary General’s Bulletin on Special Measures for Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse and to realizing the Interagency Standing Committee’s Core Principles relating to SEA.
