— The United Nations’ AIDS agency has fired two staffers for financial and sexual misconduct, including a whistleblower whose allegations of being sexually assaulted sparked months of turmoil at the organization.
But before those allegations became public, Brostrom herself and a supervisor were being investigated by UN officials for their own sexual and financial misconduct, as revealed in an Associated Press story in April. Internal documents obtained by the AP showed UN officials had “evidence” Brostrom and a supervisor had taken part in “fraudulent practices and misuse of travel funds.”
Brostrom was credited by some for starting a #MeToo movement at the UN and her complaint that she was sexually assaulted led to two inquiries — a UN investigation that concluded there was insufficient evidence to support her claims and an independent assessment of the agency’s management that found a culture of impunity and “defective leadership.”
