When the World Health Organization went to the Congo between 2018 and 2020, nearly two-dozen workers for the UN agency preyed on more than 100 Congolese women - with dozens of staffers raping, sexually abusing, and otherwise harassing local women.One of the victims, identified in a UN report as "Jolianne," was believed to be 13-years-old. Other women say their attackers used no birth control, from which several pregnancies ensued. Some of the women were forced by their rapists to get abortions.In the case of "Jolianne," a WHO driver stopped on a roadsidfe in the town of Mangina where she was selling phone cards in April of 2019 and offered to give her a ride home."Instead, he took her to a hotel where she says she was raped by this person," according to a 2021 UN report.
All of this was known two years ago following an AP investigation which revealed that senior WHO management was informed of sexual exploitation during the agency's efforts to curb Ebola, but did little to stop it. What wasn't revealed was how the WHO put a bow on the whole thing.$250 payoffsAccording to a new report from AP, internal documents reveal that the agency paid 104 victims some $250 each, an amount which is less than a single day's expenses for some UN officials working in the Congolese capital - but which can support more than four months of survival in a country where many live on less than $2.15 per day.What's more, the women had to complete a training course to help them start "income-generating activities" before they received the cash due to a UN policy that it doesn't pay reparations.
