How is the UN system handling reports of sexual abuse by it's own staff members? What are the complaint structures, and can you trust the internal investigation system the exists in the UN? Listen to Martina Broström, the whistleblower from UNAIDS on what happened when she was sexually attacked in an elevator by her superior and the devastating investigation that followed. We are also talking with Paula Donovan, co-director of AIDS-Free World and its Code Blue Campaign to end impunity for sexual exploitation and abuse by the UN – on why most allegations are found unsubstantiated. And as the bombs fall over Gaza,  Lubna Beseisso, living in the city of Gaza, share the horrors of the worst 48 hours in her life. This episode of Global Podd is in English entirely. Particiants: Martina Broström, UNAIDS  whistleblower Paula Donovan, co-director of AIDS-Free World and its Code Blue Campaign Lubna Beseisso, citizen of Gaza. Moderators: Ylva Bergman and David Isaksson.

Varför agerar inte FN och biståndsorganisationer hårdare när deras medarbetare begår sexuella övergrepp? Varför händer det så lite, trots att FN-chefen gått ut och lovat nolltolerans? Och bryr sig någon om de många övergivna barn som har FN-soldater till pappor? Global Podd pratar med Paula Donovan på kampanjen Code Blue och den tidigare svenska diplomaten Anders Kompass. 2014 slog svensken Anders Kompass larm om FN-soldaters sexuella övergrepp, vilket ledde till att han själv stängdes av från arbetet. Sedan flera år tillbaka driver organisationen Aids-free world kampanjen Code Blue för att stoppa den straffrihet som rådet för FN-personal. Samtidigt kommer nya rapporter om hur anställda på flera biståndsorganisationer begått sexövergrepp. Medverkande: Paula Donovan, biträdande chef för AIDS-free World som driver kampanjen Code Blue. Anders Kompass, tidigare FN-medarbetare och svensk diplomat. Programledare: Ylva Bergman och David Isaksson.

Sommaren 2014 får FN-tjänstemannen Anders Kompass en hemlig rapport på sitt bord. Den handlar om sexövergrepp på barn i Centralafrikanska republiken. De utpekade förövarna är franska fredssoldater. Anders Kompass blir känd som visselblåsaren som ifrågasätter FN:s byråkrati. Det här är historien om misstänkta pedofilövergrepp utförda av fredsbevarande styrkor, och om den maktkonflikt som då utlöses i fredsorganisationens hierarki. Det blir en av de största skandalerna i FN:s historia. Vi vill varna för att programmet innehåller detaljer om sexuella övergrepp mot barn. Medverkande: Anders Kompass, diplomat och fd FN-tjänsteman. Karin Mattisson, granskande reporter på SVTs Uppdrag granskning. Olof Skoog, FN-ambassadör. Paula Donovan, mänskliga rättigheter-aktivist och fd UNICEF-anställd och FN-rådgivare. Helene Cassemar, Rädda Barnen. Uppläsare av den hemliga rapporten: Simon Rosenqvist. En dokumentär av: Johan Pehrson och Siri Lallerstedt. Producent: Jon Jordås. År: 2020.

Paula Donovan is the co-director of AIDS-Free World, an international organization that advocates for institutional change with a focus on reforming powerful institutions’ responses to the social injustices that have allowed HIV to flourish. She has spent more than three decades working to advance women's and children's rights, both within the UN system—with UNICEF, UNIFEM and the Office of the UN Special Envoy on HIV and AIDS in Africa—and as a civil society advocate since she co-founded AIDS-Free World. She launched AIDS-Free World’s Code Blue Campaign in 2015 to end impunity for sexual exploitation and abuse by UN personnel, beginning with the military and civilian personnel involved in UN peacekeeping operations. She speaks to us about working to promote mothers' right to have control over infant feeding choices, structural injustices, the fear and stereotypes associated with the HIV crisis in eastern and southern Africa, activist movements, the failure of UN leaders to name and shame bad politicians, violence against women, advocating for the creation of a UN agency devoted to women's issues, the UN System Wide Coherence Agenda, fighting to end impunity in cases of sexual abuse and violence by UN staff, the UN convention on privileges and immunities, and much more. She joins us from Boston, USA.

On World AIDS Day, Robin speaks with Dazon Dixon Diallo of SisterLove, Inc. about the impact of HIV and AIDS on women and girls in the United States; and with Paula Donovan of AIDS-Free World about its impact internationally. Special Guest: the prolific, much-decorated author Ursula K. Le Guin, on why it is that her literature gets classified as "genre" fiction, the hard work of translation and story selection for an anthology, and the changing definitions of feminism. Robin debunks the spin in right-wing propaganda phrases "death tax" and "tax relief," and asks why there is not more outrage over Saudi restrictions on the free movement of women that exceed some of the Taliban's worst, more publicized, offenses. Can it be oil?
