Claims WHO employees took part in Congo sex abuse during Ebola crisis
More than 80 aid workers, including some employed by the World Health Organisation were involved in sexual abuse and exploitation during the Ebola crisis
An independent commission found at least 21 alleged perpetrators were employed by the WHO, and that the abuses were committed by both national and international staff in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
It follows an investigation following more than 50 women accusing aid workers from the WHO and other charities of demanding sex in exchange for jobs between 2018 and 2020.
The review found victims were promised jobs, or job security in exchange for sexual relations.
29 of the women became pregnant and some were forced to later abort by their abusers, according to the report
WHO Director-General Tedros Ad-hanom Jeb-Bray-Suss has pledged a zero tolerance on sexual abuse.
He says the report was “harrowing reading”, and “should never happen to anyone”.
Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.
The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.
The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.
Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.
Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured
