More than 20 Red Cross employees were fired or quit over alleged sex misconduct since 2015, charity says

Since 2015, more than 20 employees at the International Committee of the Red Cross have not returned to their posts due to alleged sexual misconduct, according to a Saturday report. Twenty-one staff members either quit or were terminated in recent years after it was determined that they broke agency policy by allegedly paying for sexual services, ICRC Director-General Yves Daccord told The Associated Press. An additional two people, believed to have engaged in sexual misconduct, did not have their contracts renewed, he said. Due to the organization’s vast footprint around the globe, employing more than 17,000 people, Daccord said it was possible that there are additional instances of misconduct that were either not reported or not handled appropriately.
