According to the report, at least six women came forward with harassment allegations against the former country director of DKT Pakistan, Dawar Warraich.

Headquartered in the US, DKT International promotes family planning and HIV prevention through social marketing, according to the website.

According to the website, Dawar Warraich is still associated with INGO, working as the Country Director Ethiopia.

DKT International President and CEO Chris Purdy was first informed of Warraich’s conduct in 2016. However, no inquiry has been launched against him by the NGO. The women have claimed that after they filed complaints, the work environment was made more hostile.

Dawar Warraich denied the allegations.
