WHO pays Congolese sexual abuse victims a mere $250 each — AP


READ HERE: The World Health Organization (WHO) paid $250 each to at least 104 Congolese women who were allegedly sexually abused by its staffers during the deadly Ebola outbreak in the African nation, the Associated Press (AP) reported on Tuesday.

The payments, totaling $26,000, were made earlier this year when Gaya Gamhewage, the doctor in charge of the WHO’s work on sexual harassment and abuse prevention, visited the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to address the biggest known sex scandal in the agency’s history, the outlet added, citing internal documents.
