More trouble at Greenpeace’s India chapter. One India has reported that an ex-staffer has decided to speak out about sexual harassment and incidents of rape on the part of her co-workers. The staffer does not seem to be a disgruntled ex-employee because more female employees have come forward with similar accusations and highlighted Greenpeace India’s incompetent handling of the incidents.

The NGO has been wrought with nothing but troubles in the past year. Not only was one of their activists prevented from leaving the country until this past March for reasons of national security, but the government of India has subjected the group to an investigation for violations of the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act resulting from Greenpeace India’s failure to report donations from abroad.

The allegations against Greenpeace India are very serious. According to One India, a female employee who disclosed her experiences anonymously filed a complaint that she had been sexually harassed and raped by one of her colleagues in 2012. The complaint was squelched despite the accused being a repeat offender in which she was later put at fault. To top it all off, the same woman was raped again in 2013 but did not report it due to the process to file complaints had failed her before. Her only recourse was to post her ordeal on Facebook. Greenpeace apologized on its website for what happened and promised to re-investigate what happened.

Another employee named Usha Saxena alleges she was forced out after filing a complaint for multiple cases of sexual harassment she witnessed. One other anonymous employee alleged that she quit in 2015 due to inaction resulting from her complaining about inappropriate remarks from her coworkers and superiors. I cannot fathom why this immoral misconduct would be allowed to continue in an affiliate of an international organization. Worst part about it, upper management in Greenpeace India made an effort to protect the employee in question who was a repeat offender. Greenpeace not only owes the women victimized in these and other incidents apologies but compensation for damages. Greenpeace should clean up its own backyard before accusing governments and corporations of environmental malfeasance.
