According to an internal, leaked staff survey conducted in 2018, one in three U.N. workers reported that they had been sexually harassed at some point over the previous two years.

The U.N. has enacted various procedural reforms on reporting and investigating workplace harassment over the last few years, following a series of allegations against top U.N. officials and concern about convoluted reporting practices. But reporting misconduct is still fraught with unnecessary complications and deterrents, experts say. And the victim-centered support once promised to U.N. employees has not fully materialized, according to former and current U.N. staffers.
