Safeguarding Children in Conflict and Crisis – a toolkit for peacekeepers
In 2018, following years of field-based research, Professor Rosa Freedman at the University of Reading, in partnership with the NGO Keeping Children Safe, launched a safeguarding toolkit. This has been trialled and tested in UN entities and is being applied by armed forces in some of the largest troop-contributing countries in the world as well as large NGOs working in conflict and crisis zones. Professor Freedman’s expertise is now widely sought and she was recently appointed to the UN Secretary General’s Civil Society Advisory Board on Sexual Exploitation and Abuse.
