Why this matters
The release of data on sexual misconduct allegations by the Ethiopia PSEA Network in 2025 marks a crucial step towards addressing the issue in the country's humanitarian sector. By collecting and aggregating data from various sources, including the UN iReport and the CHS Alliance HRS, the Network aims to inform prevention and response efforts, while also protecting the identities of survivors and organizations. The fact that only 22 allegations were recorded in 2025, despite a significant presence of humanitarian staff, suggests that sexual misconduct is severely under-reported in Ethiopia. This highlights the need for increased awareness and reporting mechanisms, particularly among local NGOs and field staff, who may be at higher risk of exploitation. The data also underscores the importance of continued efforts to strengthen accountability and transparency within the humanitarian sector, ensuring that aid is delivered safely and responsibly to those in need.
