Aid agencies accused of failure to make good on Oxfam abuse scandal pledges

MPs point to lack of progress on promised safeguarding improvements for whistleblowers and survivors

MPs have accused aid organisations of "dragging their feet" over combating sexual exploitation and abuse in the sector, despite safeguarding pledges made in 2018 after the Oxfam abuse scandal.

Work to improve protection and support for whistleblowers has "stalled", and more needs to be done to protect survivors, a report by the UK international development committee (IDC) has said.
