A cause known for supporting Meghan Markle has been hit with its very own accusations of sexism and racism.
For those unfamiliar, this cause once had Meghan Markle act as their global ambassador and is called World Vision. But the Charity Commission has now begun assessing them for alleged “toxic” and “hostile” workplace allegations, among other things.
The 44-year-old duchess has been on many tours to promote this cause, but ended up cutting ties with all charities to “focus on the prince’s personal foundation” after she married Prince Harry. All this was “to start with a clean slate to focus on Britain.”
Years after she split, senior management has been slammed with allegations that they “ignored, silenced or inadequately addressed” complaints made over the years.
However Telegraph reports that since then, the spokesperson for World Vision “disputed” all such claims, saying: “Our talented and dedicated staff are hugely important to us. We offer various mechanisms to deal with staff complaints, and if these are sustained, we act immediately to put things right and act in accordance with our policies, which are robust and fair.”
“We work to the highest standards set by the Charity Commission and our processes are dedicated to meeting these high standards across all our operations. The Charity Commission is considering its response to the complaint and we will respond fully if they direct any inquiries to us.”
“The international development sector has faced a number of challenges which have led to a significant restructuring of our operations. This has led to many job losses as we shape our organization to face the future. We recognize that such challenges, which have involved job losses through redundancies, are painful for all of us as many valued employees have had to leave the organisation.”
