The KANPE Foundation (“KANPE”) fosters a healthy and safe work environment for its employees (permanent or contractual) and volunteers (collectively, the “Stakeholders”), and has a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of exploitation, harassment, abuse, and violence, be they physical, psychological, verbal, or sexual in nature.
KANPE insists that every Stakeholder and each member, employee, or volunteer from organizations that partner or collaborate with KANPE (collectively, the “Collaborators”) treats every other Stakeholder, all other Collaborator members, employees, or volunteers, as well as members of communities served by projects and programs funded by KANPE with respect in a healthy and safe work environment free from exploitation, harassment, abuse, and violence.
Furthermore, as both an employer and funder, we require our “Stakeholders” and “Collaborators” to adhere to stated requirements and to take appropriate measures to prevent abuse and to protect victims of abuse when necessary. These measures must address all forms of exploitation, harassment, abuse, and violence between Stakeholders, Collaborators, members of communities served by projects and programs funded by KANPE, or any combination of these groups.
We require that all of KANPE’s Stakeholders and Collaborators:
In cases of non-compliance with the requirements listed above, the following sanctions will apply:
KANPE reserves the right to handle any [media situation] that emerges in relation to any event linked to a violation committed by any Stakeholder or Collaborator in a manner that it sees fit, while respecting the rights of the individuals involved (especially the victims) and in compliance with applicable laws.
KANPE itself complies with this policy and supports its Collaborators in improving their own prevention policies, protection of victims, promotion of a healthy, safe work environment, and their own zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of exploitation, harassment, abuse, or violence.
