A New Era of Safety: COMFWB Burundi Chapter validated Code of Conduct against Harassment
On May 27, 2025, the COMFWB Burundi Chapter (AFAB), with support from ICR and SNV, validated its Code of Conduct and Protocol for the Prevention of Abuse, Exploitation, and Sexual Harassment (PEAHS), marking a significant step towards a safer environment for women entrepreneurs in Burundi. This pioneering initiative establishes a clear framework for reporting misconduct and accessing comprehensive support, including healthcare, psychological, and legal aid, while also outlining sanctions for perpetrators and implementing preventative measures. Reinforced by subsequent training for provincial focal points, this achievement aims to foster trust, transparency, and confidence for AFAB members and their employees, ushering in a new era of ethical business practices in the country.
