Two experts appointed by the WHO to investigate allegations that some of its staffers sexually abused women during an Ebola outbreak in Congo have dismissed the UN agency’s own efforts to excuse its handling of such misconduct as “an absurdity.”.
found there were at least 83 perpetrators of abuse who worked for WHO and partners, including complaints of rape, forced abortions and the sexual assault of a 13-year-old girl, in the biggest known sex abuse scandal in the U.N. health agency’s history., involving a U.N. doctor signing a contract to buy land for a woman he allegedly impregnated.
Anifa, who didn't share her last name for fear of reprisals, said she didn't expect any financial compensation from the WHO, explaining that “money will not erase the wounds I have in my heart.” She reported the alleged misconduct to the WHO in 2019, but never received a response.
When allegations of sexual abuse and exploitation surfaced in the press in September 2020, Tedros said he was “outraged” and that anyone found to be involved would face serious consequences. WHO emergencies chief Dr. Michael Ryan claimed the agency had “absolutely no details” of the abuse.
