This template converts the findings of the Crosswalk Project's open-access research into a ready-to-adopt organizational policy. The research (Module 1) mapped the thirteen obligations of the international
humanitarian sector's safeguarding standard — the IASC Six Core Principles Relating to Sexual Exploitation and Abuse — against United States law, and found that no obligation is covered by a requirement of general application that both reaches nonprofits as a class and protects the people they serve. This policy is built to close that gap at the organizational level, using design requirements derived directly from the research: it is beneficiary-facing, preventive, portable across service areas, specified at the operational level, and anchored in board-level accountability.
