Sex for aid. More of this shit

There must be ways around this. And especially where the efforts are not related to current conflict, of which there are plenty.

It seems so shit that the men are "bad men" or "good men", and which sort of men are which depends on who is winning and what the men who control the narratives say, but to the women and girls in the middle the end result doesn't seem to be much different, with both sorts of men viewing them as sexual objects to be consumed.

snibble I agree with your point about putting the money in the hands of the women - that seems to work well with seed-funding charities in Africa (a bit vague, but I have a friend who works for one and she is very positive about it).

The safety issue: I get that, but not all these issues are related to war-torn zones where shrapnel is a daily thing. Just why would you go into a disaster zone and not do what you are supposed to do, which is help? Sorry, I know there are no answers, it just freaks me out a bit.

This legacy...

plus men raping vulnerable women in hospitals, care homes, and of course after the pub on a saturday night. For the last one, culturally, we say as a society this is understandable...
I have never said rape under any circumstance is understandable. Let alone after the pub on a Saturday night. Neither (AFAIK) has anyone I know. Just how is it understandable?
I would be willing to bet the massively greater proportion of society spouting that nonsense is male. Under the illusion that they have an excuse not to exert self control while under the influence of alcohol. Again - common denominator for this rubbish is men.
Even allowing a comment like that to stand is passive misogyny, and should be questioned.

Attitudes surveys repeatedly report that large cohorts of the population think women are partly or entirely to blame if they are raped under certain circs.

Depressingly, these attitdudes are more widespread in younger people.

The reaction towards lots of people towards women when famous men are on trial for rape is repugnant.

I do believe that we have large societal issues when it comes to rape and sexual asssault, either committed by men that are liked or admired, or where the victim is not "perfect".

It is not just men who feel this way. To pretend it is, minimises the problem.

If what you say is accurate snibble, I'm truly disgusted.

I don't believe women don't want to work for international humanitarian organizations, not after spending the past 20 years working for international healthcare-based nonprofits.

Oxfam rapists were in Haiti after an earthquake, it wasn't a war zone and the people (men, women and children) were in varying degrees of trauma and pain, homeless and helplessness.

I don't believe qualified, dedicated women can't be found to take over untrustworthy men's positions at Oxfam.
