Equal Education’s Isaacs resigns amid sexual harassment allegations

Equal Education’s treasurer Doron Isaacs has resigned amid a raft of sexual harassment allegations

The allegations against him were made by former and current employees at the organisation.

Isaac’s resignation comes two days after former general secretary of Equal Education (EE) Tshepo Motsepe stepped down amidst similar allegations.

In a statement released this evening, the organisation said it was distressed by claims of sexual harassment leveled against Isaacs. 

“He has not accepted any wrongdoing at this stage. He has indicated that he is prepared to submit himself to an independent investigation.”

“As a movement committed to principles of human dignity, social justice, and equality, Equal Education (EE) is deeply distressed by the allegations of sexual harassment levelled against the former Treasurer of Equal Education, Doron Isaacs.”

EE said it has provided counselling to its staff and strives to be an “environment that believes and supports women when they bring forward claims of mistreatment, while dealing with misconduct fairly and appropriately”.
