One senior official tells the BBC she was ostracised for making complaints.
The UN has said it is tackling sexual harassment, sexism and a male-dominated culture within its ranks "head on".
One former UN Senior Advisor, Sinead Andrews, has just come forward to speak for the first time about her experience. She says she was "ostracised" after making complaints while at the organisation - an allegation the UN denies. After leaving the UN, she made an official complaint about her former boss, Fabrizio Hochschild, who was the under secretary general in New York in 2019.
Some interviewees who took part in the BBC documentary lost their jobs after appearing in the investigation. Senior officials, he said, had been dismissed because of sexual harassment. "We've seen an increase in the number of people who have reached out to us through a hotline the secretary general's put in place through regular channels," he said.
