Under the decadeslong oversight of Klaus Schwab, the World Economic Forum (WEF), which organizes the annual Davos event, has faced numerous accusations of fostering a hostile atmosphere towards women and Black people within its own workplace. According to a Wall Street Journal investigation, internal complaints, email exchanges, and interviews with dozens of current and former employees reveal a culture marred by harassment and discrimination. Despite the WEF's public efforts to promote gender equality through its Gender Gap report for CEOs and world leaders, the organization has been criticized for not addressing similar issues internally. Hundreds of former employees have reportedly bonded over shared trauma in a WhatsApp group called 'WEFugees.'
