23 people away from the Red Cross for misconduct

Over the last few years, 23 people have been fired or left at the International Red Cross (ICRC) because of (the suspicion of) prostitution visits.

Since 2015, 21 employees have not adhered to the code. They have been dismissed or have themselves resigned during the investigation into their behavior. The contract was not extended for two other employees; they were suspected of paying for sex.

'With this behavior we deny the people we want to help. It goes against human dignity. We should have been more vigilant to prevent this, 'said Yves Daccord, Director General of the ICRC in a reaction.
