WHO OFFERS USD 250 TO EACH CONGOLESE SEXUALY ABUSED WOMEN VICTIMS

More than 100 women and girls – according to an investigation by the AP – have alleged sexual abuse or exploitation by at least 21 of the organization’s employees in 2019. Some allegations were dismissed at the time, the WHO report notes. The report states that “the majority” of those employees who allegedly abused the girls were Congolese men “hired on a temporary basis,” by the organization while others were international workers deployed to the country. "To get ahead in the job, you had to have sex," said a woman identified in the WHO report as Nadira.
