The International Committee of the Red Cross said 21 staff members have been dismissed or resigned for “paying for sexual services” since 2015. An additional two staff members suspected of sexual misconduct didn’t have their contracts renewed, Yves Daccord, the ICRC’s director-general, said in a statement. “This behavior is a betrayal of the people and the communities we are there to serve. It is against human dignity and we should have been more vigilant in preventing this,” Daccord said. The revelation comes as other aid organizations have been hit by allegations of sexual harassment and exploitation by aid workers.
