🌟 IOM Sri Lanka proudly concludes its "Protection from Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Harassment" (PSEAH) Champions Learning Training.

Representing all departments at IOM Sri Lanka, the newly trained PSEAH Champions are now assigned to lead and strengthen the mainstreaming of Protection from Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Harassment (PSEAH) across projects, programmes, and workplace practices — while supporting the implementation of the IOM Action Plan on PSEAH & Respectful Workplace.

This initiative marks an important step in strengthening safeguarding, accountability, and respectful workplace culture across operations.

Looking ahead, IOM aims to extend this expertise to civil society organizations (CSOs) and government partners across Sri Lanka through its growing network of trained PSEAH Champions.

Together, we continue building safer spaces for all. ✨

Happy Birthday, IOM Sri Lanka 🎂✨

This week marks 24 years since IOM opened its Sri Lanka office in 2002, supporting communities and migrants every step of the way.

Did you know?
🌐In 1990, Sri Lanka became a Member State of IOM, when the organization facilitated the return of over 90,000 Sri Lankan domestic workers during the Gulf War.
🌐Following this, IOM opened its first office in Colombo in 2002 and later expanded to five field offices—Jaffna, Batticaloa, Mannar, Trincomalee, and Kurunegala.

For over two decades, IOM has worked with communities, partners, and the Government of Sri Lanka to support people on the move, respond to crises, and build resilient communities.

🌍 Committed to safe, orderly, and humane migration for all. 🤝
