Most of the victims are quick-time period body of workers, formative years volunteers and interns searching for jobs, the file mentioned.
Those accountable “position themselves as ‘gate-keepers’ and ‘king-makers'”, it added.

South Africa’s Mail & Mum Or Dad paper says the inquiry was once based after it said on a petition signed by way of 37 feminine contributors of AU personnel complaining approximately sexual harassment at the commission.
The AU Fee, which has its headquarters in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, stated that given the findings and serious allegations, it would determine “a comprehensive sexual harassment policy that protects the victims and takes the strongest punitive measures against any perpetrator”.
Mr Faki might also shape an interior committee to appear into all of the said circumstances and make suggestions, a press release stated.
