Former Oxfam CEO takes charity to court over accusations of ‘racism and antisemitism’

The former Chief Executive of Oxfam in the UK is taking legal action against the charity, accusing it of racism, sexism and anti-Semitism.

In an exclusive interview with this programme, Dr Halima Begum – who is Muslim – says she was forced to resign at the end of last year in a process she describes as a ‘witch hunt.’ She is now taking the charity to the Employment Tribunal.

She spoke to us about her battle with Oxfam, which risks plunging the charity into a renewed crisis.
