MPs launch survey to see if progress has been made in tackling sexual exploitation of aid recipients abroad

MPs are seeking views from international aid and development workers to gauge whether any progress has been made in tackling sexual abuse in the charity sector. 

Today, the Commons international-development committee announced its first survey to gauge the success of efforts since 2018 to end the exploitation of aid recipients in developing countries.  

The survey’s launch follows a recent oral-evidence session at which MPs heard accounts of vulnerable people being exploited and abused by those who were supposed to help them.
