This is the sixth episode of GISF’s new Inclusive Security Podcast Series. This episode focuses on Security Managers of Today featuring guest speaker Javeria Ayaz Malik, Global Safety and Security Lead at ActionAid International and Chair of the International NGO Safety and Security Association (INSSA).
About the series:
The Inclusive Security Podcast Series explores inclusivity through the lens of security risk management (SRM). It can be said that inclusivity is at the heart of successful SRM. Organisations have a responsibility to provide a duty of care to all staff. They must take all reasonable measures to protect their staff from foreseeable risks, including those that emerge due to an aid worker’s personal characteristics such as, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, gender, disabilities, sexual orientation etc. Security professionals need to have a comprehensive understanding of how personal identities and characteristics can impact personal security. This knowledge should be integrated into security policies and approaches so that they are inclusive and effective for all.
About this episode:
In this episode, Javeria Ayaz Malik unpacks the qualities and qualifications it takes to be a security manager of today, and examines how we can improve the security sector by amplifying good inclusive practices.
