Oxfam Sacks 22 Staff Over Sexual Abuse Allegations

Oxfam has dismissed 22 staff over allegations of sexual abuse in the last year.

Out of 5,000 staff, Oxfam has seen 36 per cent increase in claims about sexual exploitation and abuse.

The dismissals come as campaigners ask governments to take a closer look at the funding they provide to aid groups.

Reports of Oxfam staff’s inappropriate behaviour​ emerged during media spotlight on the dozens of allegations of sexual abuse, harassment​, ​ and discrimination from women and men facing disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein and other high-profile figures in media, politics and the arts.
