The education ministry has distanced itself from its anti-bullying ambassador after allegations of sexual harassment and blackmail.
Several women publicly accused 21-year-old Aalif Naseer – a video blogger who describes himself as “the Maldivian YouTuber” – following his appointment as the first anti-bullying ambassador on February 13.
A ministry official confirmed to the media that Naseer was no longer the ambassador. But it was unclear whether he resigned or was sacked, Mihaaru reported on Sunday.
The ambassador’s role had been conducting activities with the education ministry after an anti-bullying policy for schools was launched last month.
