MSF Breaks Silence on Sexual Abuse by Staff, Signaling Change in Aid Accountability

Médecins Sans Frontières disclosed an internal investigation finding 59 allegations of sexual exploitation by staff in Chad. The move breaks from past practice: aid organizations typically concealed such findings, as the 2018 Oxfam scandal exposed. MSF's transparency strengthens trust but raises questions about whether punishments matched the scale of allegations involving local and foreign workers.
