Adjunct away at Oxfam after fuss about sex Haiti

london - The deputy director of the British aid organization Oxfam has resigned in response to the fuss about sexual misconduct of aid workers, particularly in Haiti.

Deputy Director Penny Lawrence said Monday that 'the organization has failed to take adequate action in response to reports within Oxfam about sexual misconduct of employees. '

Lawrence said she would take responsibility with her retirement. As program director, she was responsible for missions in Chad and Haiti, for example, in the period in which employees would have hired underage prostitutes.

Lawrence regretted that the sexual misconduct of a country mission chief in Chad and his staff had already been discussed at Oxfam before he was sent to Haiti after the disastrous earthquake of 2010.
