Two recent staff surveys have revealed rampant harassment and abuse across the UN system, and highlighted the urgent need for concrete changes in how the UN handles cases of misconduct.
The survey conducted by Deloitte, on behalf of the Secretary-General focused only on sexual harassment. The results, which were widely reported in international media this month, indicate that a third of all staff have experienced sexual harassment in the UN context, and that only a minority of victims choose to take action as a result.
