THE CANADIAN CENTRE OF EXPERTISE ON PSEA

Our goal is to help Canadian international development and humanitarian organizations improve their ability to PSEA, towards program and project participants – particularly women and girls. We aim to increase awareness of, access to, and use of gender-responsive policies and good practices to PSEA.
