ECPAT-USA releases a guide on Protecting Children From Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Violence in Disaster and Emergency Situations

I thought this was especially relevent due to the recent disaster in Haiti.

"This manual, as the title suggests, is about how to protect children from sexual violence and sexual exploitation, specifically in disaster and emergency situations. It is not intended to be an academic report but instead is a practical guide that we hope will be of use to people working directly in the field. The aim is to provide fundamental information to assist personnel working in emergency situations in responding to protect children, in terms of what can be done before disaster strikes (which might be called 'mitigation'), in the immediate aftermath (the 'response') and in the longer term reconstruction phase (sometimes called the ‘recovery’)"
