Allegations of Sexual Abuse Against Sudanese Refugees in Chad

The United Nations mission in Chad is currently investigating serious allegations involving aid workers and security personnel accused of sexually abusing Sudanese refugees in emergency camps. These reports highlight a troubling trend of sexual exploitation, particularly within displacement sites that tend to emerge during humanitarian crises.

UN's Response and Zero Tolerance Policy

In an effort to address these allegations, the UN has reaffirmed its commitment to a zero tolerance policy against sexual exploitation and abuse. Harold Gerard, the current United Nations representative in Jamina, emphasized the ongoing investigations while outlining the mechanisms in place to combat such misconduct.
