Accountability, Sexual Harassment Concerns - In Spotlight At UNAIDS Board Meeting

Accountability, Sexual Harassment Concerns - In Spotlight At UNAIDS Board Meeting

Health Policy Watch - "Accountability and prevention and response to harassment, including sexual harassment, bullying and abuse of power, are high on the minds of delegates attending a three-day meeting of the ruling body of UNAIDS this week in Geneva.

As the UNAIDS Programme Coordinating Board (PCB) meeting kicked off on 26 June at the World Health Organization headquarters building next door, AIDS activists held a demonstration outside calling for reform of the agency, and for its embattled leader, Michel Sidibé, to step down. The demands are over his perceived mishandling of a high-profile investigation into allegations of sexual harassment and assault against a top official of UNAIDS."
