Impartiality and non-discrimination

Sened is committed to providing assistance without bias and without discrimination. The following guidelines reflect our commitment to humanitarian principles.

Sened provides humanitarian assistance and services on the basis of need alone. We do not discriminate against any person or group on grounds of race, colour, ethnicity, nationality, religion, belief, gender, age, disability, political or other opinion, or any other status.

In practice, this means:

  • We prioritise people according to the urgency and severity of their needs, not according to their identity or affiliation.
  • We treat all beneficiaries, partners and staff with equal respect and dignity.
  • We do not allow political, religious or other external interests to influence who receives assistance or how it is delivered.
  • We promote inclusion and equal access to our programmes, including for people with disabilities and the most vulnerable.

These principles guide our recruitment, our partnerships and our day-to-day work. Anyone who believes that Sened has not acted in line with these guidelines may use our complaints procedure to raise their concern.
