Report Says 1 In 3 U.N. Staffers Has Been Sexually Harassed
The organization surveyed over 30,000 respondents. The findings reflect a disturbing trend of inappropriate behavior in the humanitarian world.
One in 3 U.N. employees has reported being sexually harassed in the past two years, according to a survey that the United Nations released last week.
It's part of an unfortunate trend in the humanitarian sector: complaints about sexual harassment, bullying and other unacceptable workplace behavior.
The U.N. survey comes on the heels of a UNAIDS report in December, which confirmed that its leadership failed to address widespread complaints of bullying and sexual harassment.
And just this month, charges of racial discrimination and bias and financial misconduct at the World Health Organization were leveled in three anonymous emails. WHO issued saying that it will conduct an investigation "according to WHO's established procedures."
