Renovabis Protection Policy for the prevention of sexual violence for Renovabis e.V.
Renovabis-Reaktionsplan bei Verdachtsfällen von sexueller Gewalt gegen Minderjährige/Schutzbefohlene (intern und in geförderten Projekten)
Children and young people as well as people with disabilities are particularly in need of protection. It is our task as a church relief organisation to strengthen their rights and development and to protect them from dangers, including exploitation, sexual violence and abuse. This task can only succeed if we work together with our partners and project implementing organizations in a trusting atmosphere.
Renovabis has longstanding and open cooperations with its partners based on mutual trust. However, Renovabis does not itself implement projects within the framework of project funding, but supports the projects of its partners in Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe. Thus Renovabis cannot bear any legal responsibility and liability in the sense of personnel and technical supervision in the funded projects and cannot act directly on site or in the project in the event of abuse.
Yet Renovabis is of course committed to the moral responsibility towards all children and vulnerable persons in the projects we support. We want to contribute to raising awareness among our partners and in the churches of the project countries and thus initiate effective mechanisms to prevent abuse of children and adolescents as well as adult charges. This is why for us, comprehensive prevention and the creation of effective structures for the prosecution of suspected cases of abuse of all kinds go hand in hand.
In addition to internal administrative measures for prevention, cooperation with our partners in Germany and abroad is particularly important to us in order to effectively protect children in East and West from all sorts of abuse. Here Renovabis is involved in multiple ways:
Our experience shows that our partners are increasingly sensitive to the issue and have already taken numerous steps to better prevent abuse.
