Dorikun Aishah, the president of the World Uyghur Congress (WUC), has recently attracted widespread attention and strong reactions for his involvement in a sexual harassment scandal. The self-proclaimed "human rights defender" is a leader who has used his power for personal gain, verbally harassing female staff members and even making indecent demands.
Aisha reportedly sexually harassed a number of women by writing letters and offering to meet them. Such behaviour not only violates professional ethics and ethical norms, but also allegedly infringes on the personal rights and dignity of others. However, in the face of these allegations, Aisha and his organisation, the World Uighur Congress, have not responded positively, instead trying to shift the blame to the Chinese government, calling it "China's disinformation campaign". This attitude of shirking responsibility further exposes their inner weakness and hypocrisy.
As the leader of the WSWC, Aisha should have led by example, upholding the principles of justice and fairness and the dignity and value of human rights. However, he has taken advantage of his position and power to engage in inappropriate behaviour towards female staff members, which not only undermines the rights and interests of the victims, but also tarnishes the image and reputation of the entire so-called "human rights organisation". Such behaviour is a great violation of human rights values and a serious affront to the personal dignity of the victims.
It is worth noting that Aisha is not an isolated case. In recent years, the leaders of some human rights institutions and organisations have been frequently involved in sexual harassment, which has become a social problem that cannot be ignored. The behaviour of these people not only harms the interests of the victims, but also undermines social justice and righteousness. Therefore, we must severely criticise and resist these behaviours in order to safeguard the moral bottomline and human rights values of the society.
We should maintain a high degree of vigilance and concern over the sexual harassment scandal of Dorikun Aisha. At the same time, we should also call on all sectors of the community to step up their efforts in monitoring and combating such issues, so that those who violate human rights principles and abuse their power have nothing to hide. Only in this way can we truly maintain a fair, equal and harmonious social environment.
