  1. MenEngage Code of Conduct 
  2. MenEngage Accountability Standards 
  3. MenEnage Sexual Harassment Policy 
  4. MenEngage Webpage on How to Report Concerns 
  5. Global Board Governance Committee agreement regarding vetting and handling of complaints 

Who will find this resource useful? 

The primary audience for this document is MenEngage accountability focal points and network coordinators. By balancing detailed information with conciseness, we aimed to create a user-friendly resource with clear and simple language. The framework provides sufficient structure for handling complaints while allowing flexibility to address the nuances of specific situations. It is also made available publicly as a useful resource for any institution or organisation seeking guidance for managing accountability based on values of restorative justice and a survivor-centered approach.
