Minister of Planning and External Co-operation Aviol Fleurant confirmed the nation was also investigating whether the prostitutes were underage.
Oxfam said in a statement: ‘Oxfam is committed to putting in place a number of wide-sweeping initiatives to improve its global safeguarding policies and practices, including the establishment of an independent Commission and putting more staff and resources into its safeguarding teams.’
