International society is further concerned about the problem of sexual exploitation, abuse, and harassment (SEAH) in development cooperation in recent years. In response to this, MOFA has been conducting training and other activities to spread awareness of this problem among its staff. It has also posted summaries of international commitment documents and recommendations in Japanese on the MOFA website to promote understanding among the Japanese public. In addition, JICA has taken measures such as posting on its website a message from the president about eradicating SEAH and adding SEAH prevention measures to its employment regulations and ethics guidelines for JICA personnel.
