BBC Media Action, a charity organisation that works several countries, including India, on Wednesday announced that it had sacked six foreign nationals for sexual harassment or watching pornography on official work computers. It said the incidents leading to the six dismissals happened outside the United Kingdom over the last 10 years. A statement from BBC Media Action said: “We have reviewed all cases in the last 10 years involving or potentially involving sexual misconduct. “We want to foster a culture where everyone working at BBC Media Action can recognise abuse, knows what they can do to help prevent it, and where anyone with an allegation is heard,” it added. Previously the BBC World Service Trust, the organisation was renamed BBC Media Action in 2011, and aims to use the power of media and communication to help reduce poverty and support people across the world in understanding their rights.
