WHO has appointed two distinguished leaders @AMindaoudou and @LusengeJ to co-chair an Independent Commission on sexual abuse and exploitation during the response to the tenth #Ebola epidemic in the provinces of North Kivu and Ituri, #DRC. bit.ly/34TsEKw
The role of the Independent Commission will be to swiftly establish the facts, identify and support survivors, ensure that any ongoing abuse has stopped, and hold perpetrators to account. bit.ly/34TsEKw #Ebola #DRC
The Commission will comprise up to seven members, incl. the co-chairs, with expertise in sexual exploitation and abuse, emergency response, and investigations. The co-chairs will choose the other members of the Commission, which will be supported by a Secretariat based at WHO.
To support the Independent Commission’s work, @DrTedros has decided to use an open process to hire an independent and external organization with experience in conducting similar inquiries. bit.ly/34TsEKw #Ebola #DRC
WHO has a zero tolerance policy with regard to sexual exploitation and abuse. We reiterate our strong commitment to preventing and protecting against sexual exploitation and abuse in all our operations around the world. bit.ly/34TsEKw #Ebola #DRC
