Practice Guidance Note on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS)
Survivors have consistently emphasised that effective, integrated MHPSS must be in place before information-gatherers engage in survivor interactions, yet IICI has received feedback that the principles in the Code that relate to MHPSS are among the most challenging to meet. This resource offers practical guidance for information-gatherers and users on how to meet the Code’s commitments on MHPSS.
Coming soon.
Survivor Perspectives Resource
This resource features quotes from survivors worldwide, highlighting their experiences with documenters, journalists and other information-gatherers. It underscores the need for them to adhere to the Murad Code, illustrating the harm caused to survivors when these standards are not upheld.
Coming soon.
Guide for Funders
This guidance helps governmental, philanthropic and multilateral funders to reflect on why and how the Code is important for them and for organisations they support, and how they can build compliance with the Code’s minimum standards into their own organisations and into their support for grantees and other recipients of funding.
