世界卫生组织推出更新版性骚扰防治政策，以取代2017年存在漏洞的旧政策1。新政策实施"零容忍"标准，WHO总干事谭德塞强调"没有任何借口"可以为性骚扰辩护1。该政策以受害者为中心，适用于WHO工作人员和包括顾问、承包商及合作伙伴在内的合作方1。
新政策设立六项最低保护标准，以保护任何遭受WHO工作人员或合作方性骚扰的人士1。为支持受害者，WHO建立了专项援助基金，2022/2023年度拨款200万美元，用于提供医疗、心理、法律和社会经济支持1。同时，WHO调查团队设定了120天的基准期来完成性骚扰投诉调查，并已发布调查完成和纪律处分情况的仪表板1。
这一新政策源于2020年WHO总干事建立的独立委员会，该委员会调查了刚果民主共和国第十次埃博拉疫情应对期间的性剥削和性虐待指控1。
The World Health Organization has introduced a new policy framework to combat sexual misconduct, replacing its previous 2017 guidelines that were found to contain significant gaps in addressing harassment incidents 1. The updated policy adopts a zero-tolerance standard, with WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus emphasizing that "there is no excuse" for sexual harassment 1.
The policy applies to all WHO personnel as well as collaborators including advisors, contractors, and partner organizations 1. It establishes six minimum protection standards designed to safeguard anyone subjected to sexual harassment by WHO staff or partners 1. A victim assistance fund has been created with an allocation of 2 million U.S. dollars for the 2022/2023 fiscal year, providing affected individuals with medical, psychological, legal, and socioeconomic support 1. Additionally, WHO investigation teams have been given a 120-day benchmark period to complete sexual misconduct complaint investigations 1. The organization has also released a dashboard tracking completed investigations and disciplinary actions 1.
The policy development was prompted by findings from an independent investigation commissioned by WHO in 2020, which examined allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse during the organization's response to the tenth Ebola virus disease outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo 1.
