I moved on & created a whole new life for myself! So pleased to use my experience to help others, esp. leaders, facing similar situations - often in isolation. Here's what I learned: https://t.co/G39exEo8ve Thx for the phenomenal outpouring of support.🙏💕#harassment #leadership

@francetim @WorldHealthSmt @rosiejames96 @WHO @Winnie_Byanyima George Simon, In Sheep's Clothing, rev. ed., p.115 "Minimization- This tactic is a unique kind of denial coupled with rationalisation [...] the aggressor is attempting to assert that his behaviour isn't really as harmful or irresponsible as someone else may be claiming."

[Sima Newell @SimaNewell]

@francetim @WorldHealthSmt @rosiejames96 @WHO Hear, hear! Spot on. I was told by @Winnie_Byanyima in response to ILOAT Judgments 4240 and 4241 that she regrets the "distress". Distress doesn't begin to cover the illness consequent to my harassment, just like assault won't "clear up quickly". Minimisation is also abuse.

@ExtroSpecteur @rosiejames96 @WHO @WorldHealthSmt @pass_blue @MalayahHa @MartinaBrostrom @SarahChampionMP @willrworley Yep... I'm still waiting for the final pieces of my cases to be adjudicated before the ILOAT. I was harassed in 2012 and was wrongfully reassigned in 2016 as a result... The wheels of @WHO "justice" take forever to turn. @rosiejames96 be prepared for a long haul.

@rosiejames96 @WHO @WorldHealthSmt Hi Rosie, take care of yourself. I haven’t been much on Twitter - now focusing on my post-UNAIDS life. I know those ropes of reporting harassment though, so reach out if I can help. Still waiting after 2.5 years for an answer to my letter to @Winnie_Byanyima cc @DrTedros

[Sima Newell @SimaNewell]

@Marianne_Guenot Thanks for writing this @Marianne_Guenot ! It’s a question that has been on so many people’s minds.

[Sima Newell @SimaNewell]

@SciInsider "Relatively little attention was paid to the downsides" just about sums it up! I remember reading The Firecracker Boys ages ago, thinking whaaaatttt???Nicely crafted, @Marianne_Guenot

[AIDS-Free World @AIDS_Free_World]

Former @UNAIDS heads Luiz Loures and Michel Sidibé guilty! 2nd investigation finds Loures sexually harassed Martina Brostrom and others, enabled by Sidibé.

UNAIDS / @Winnie_Byanyima in spin mode, but an irate #UN insider leaked conclusions to our Code Blue Campaign.

@ExtroSpecteur @SarahChampionMP @PreetKGillMP @willrworley @MalayahHa @pass_blue @PowerUSAID I left the system in disgust & use a Mac. Jokes aside- it will take a generation or two for women & other genders to be powerful and rich enough to level the global playing field. I’m pleased to be leading the way outside the corruption zone, coaching wonderful, ethical leaders.

[Sima Newell @SimaNewell]

@kailamintz Wow. As a coach, I look at language patterns. Every substantive line of the TOC has a "but", "not", "however", or "yet" in it... That in and of itself says a lot.

[Sima Newell @SimaNewell]

@TheWrongHumani1 Seems like we’re familiar with the same system. Sigh.

[Inclusion Rider @TinaTinde]

This is so sad. Dear @Winnie_Byanyima when will the investigation report be released? #AidToo #MeToo

[Sima Newell @SimaNewell]

@MartinaBrostrom @devex @UN Hang in there Martina! It’s a long, winding road, this “justice” system.

[Devex @devex]

[Thread] Following high-profile sexual harassment allegations against officials, the U.N. has instituted various reforms over the last few years. But the changes have not dramatically altered workplace culture, former and present @UN employees say. ⬇️#AidToo

[Sima Newell @SimaNewell]

Nice piece @jennyleiravelo! The lack of transparency should be shocking, but it's par for the course. Just when the world is looking to @WHO for leadership, they need to be aware of the suppression of whistleblowing in such an important institution.

I love James Downie’s paintings. They are painted in the Naive style and I find them comforting. I’m pleased it’s getting cold and darkish early.
Thanks my Twitterarty. Back tomorrow. Have a restful evening. Helen, Dr S, Toots and Max 🍁🍁🍁😊🐶🐶👨🏻‍🍳🍁🍁🍁

[AIDS-Free World @AIDS_Free_World]

Paula Donovan on the UN's repeatedly asserted claim of "zero tolerance" toward sexual offenses by its own personnel, in testimony before the UK's @IDC:

[Sima Newell @SimaNewell]

@AIDS_Free_World @IDC More like zero tolerance towards whistleblowers.

Mysterious Landscape by Roma Mountjoy. She’s an English artist living in South Wales where she has a studio. These little cottages appealed to me and I like her rendition of the sky

[helen warlow @HWarlow]

Here’s a bit of flower power!’Summer Flowers’ by Jane Wormell. Love this selection she’s chosen to paint. Adding to,our cheery time line

[helen warlow @HWarlow]

Roman Youngquist. Every one of her paintings has a peaceful atmosphere and a colour palette of calm.
