Doctors Without Borders (MSF) promotes a working environment free of harassment and abuse. Our leadership has unequivocally committed to reinforce mechanisms and procedures to prevent and address abuse and harassment. All staff are expected to abide by the MSF movement's Behavioural Commitments and our guiding principles as stipulated in our Charter.
The integrity of our organisation is upheld by the good conduct of each individual staff member, in any location, with full respect for the communities we serve. For us, this means not tolerating any behaviour from our staff that exploits the vulnerability of others, or of employees taking advantage of their position for personal gain.
In 2025, 65,708 individuals worked for MSF worldwide. During the year, we saw a total of 1,122 complaints about abuse or inappropriate behaviour made across the MSF movement. Of these, 1,021 were related to our medical and humanitarian projects, and 101 related to our international headquarters offices.
