Oxfam Haiti sex claims: Charity 'failed in moral leadership'

[Boiler 46,070]

Ministers could cut off funding for Oxfam if it cannot account for the way it handled claims of sexual misconduct by aid workers, the international development secretary has warned.

Penny Mordaunt will meet the charity on Monday to hear more about claims staff used prostitutes in Haiti in 2011.

She said Oxfam had failed in its "moral leadership" over the "scandal".

Meanwhile, Oxfam has announced new measures for the prevention and handling of sexual abuse cases.

Interesting.  I don't know a lot about Oxfam, but apparently some of their project leaders know how to take advantage of a good crisis.

ROFL wrong thread.

 

One of the issues was the age of the new workers and also seems those who donated did not have this sort of thing in mind.

The prostitution claims surrounding Oxfam don’t surprise me. I’ve seen it all before with charities across the world – and the UN

In 1999, during my first trip to Kosovo, I was told by my driver that a number of brothels were being built close to the area inhabited by a number of charities and UN organisations because so many of the men stationed there were prolific prostitute users. This was despite the fact they were working on anti-trafficking strategies
