As a part of International Development week, the International Development Graduate Certificate Program and the Ontario Council for International Cooperation co-sponsored a one-day conference and workshop on Protection against Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) in the International Development industry.
This event hosted a panel including members of the NGO community, Humber academics, UN representatives and Global Affairs Canada speaking to an audience of largely high-level industry executives and Humber graduate certificate and degree students.
The afternoon workshop allowed Humber students to engage with industry professionals on a series of case studies highlighting the complexities of this sensitive issue in an international setting.
This event highlighted Humber’s mission of developing global citizens and fostered collaboration across Humber schools and departments.
