UNAIDS has never offered economic compensation to complainants of sexual harassment in exchange for non-disclosure agreements. Such actions would be unethical and against the core principles and values of UNAIDS.
UNAIDS is issuing this information note following a line of questioning from a reporter and wishes to dispel any potential misinformation.
UNAIDS fully supports survivors of harassment and is currently further strengthening measures to prevent and address harassment, including sexual harassment, bullying and abuse of power, and to hold perpetrators accountable for their actions.
