U.N. in Crisis as UNICEF Joins W.H.O. to Face Sex Abuse Claims

UNICEF on Wednesday became the third U.N. agency in less than 48-hours to begin an internal inquiry into allegations of sexual abuse of women in the Democratic Republic of Congo, as claims of rape by U.N. workers threaten to engulf the globalist organization.

The children's fund said it was "Appalled that people who identify as UNICEF workers have reportedly committed abuse against vulnerable women in the Democratic Republic of the Congo."

Earlier Wednesday the International Organization for Migration said it too was investigating allegations of sexual abuse and exploitation by one of its staff during the DRC's Ebola crisis, while the World Health Organization made a similar announcement Tuesday.

Local women were allegedly plied with drinks, "Ambushed" in hospitals, forced to have group sex with aid workers, and two became pregnant.

For its part, UNICEF said that it "Encourage(s) all victims to come forward", adding that it has "Strengthened our efforts to prevent, and respond to, sexual exploitation and abuse" in the past two years and has now sent extra staff to DRC to investigate the latest allegations.

Allegations of sexual misconduct have arisen in all peace operations deployed by the U.N. for the past 20 years at least.

In 2011, several Oxfam staff were accused of sexual exploitation and abuse of women believed to be prostitutes in Chad in 2006.
