around the world (https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/5554879/oxfam-haiti-sex-scandal-penny-lawrence-resigned-fired-charity/). The claim is in a bombshell dossier that former

A whistle blower has claimed UN staff could have carried out 60,000 rapes in the last decade
In it, Professor Macleod also estimated there are 3,300 paedophiles
working for the world body's various agencies alone. Thousands more
"predatory" sex abusers specifically target aid charity jobs (https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/5549572/priti-patel-paedophile-aid-sector-charity-workers-abuse-kids-haiti-oxfam/) to get
close to vulnerable women and children. And there has been an "endemic"
cover-up of the sickening crimes for two decades, with those who
attempt to blow the whistle just getting fired. Sharing his dossier
with The Sun, Prof MacLeod last night warned that the spiralling abuse
scandal was on the same scale as the Catholic Church's.

Professor MacLeod has warned that the spiralling abuse scandal was on the same scale as the Catholic Church's
The respected academic said: "There are tens of thousands of aid
workers around the world with paedophile tendencies, but if you wear a
UNICEF T-shirt nobody will ask what you're up to. "You have the
impunity to do whatever you want. "It is endemic across the aid
industry across the world". "The system is at fault, and should have
stopped this years ago."

Professor MacLeod is campaigning for far tougher checks on aid workers in the field
Professor MacLeod worked as an aid boss for the UN all over the world,
including high profile jobs in the Balkans, Rwanda and Pakistan - where
he was chief of operations of the UN's Emergency Coordination Centre.
He is campaigning for far tougher checks on aid workers in the field as
well as the abusers among them to be brought to justice, and wants the
UK to lead the fight. The professor's grim 60,000 figure is based on UN
Secretary General Antonio Guterres's admission last year that UN
peacekeepers and civilian staff abused 311 victims in just one 12 month
period over 2016. The UN also admits that the likely true number of
cases reported against its staff is double that, as figures outside of
war zones are not centrally collated.

Last year UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres's admitted that UN peacekeepers and civilian staff abused 311 victims in just one 12 month period over 2016
Prof MacLeod also estimates that only one in 10 of all rapes and
assaults by UN staff are reported, as even in the UK the reporting rate
is just 14 per cent. Based on evidence from Prof MacLeod, ex-Cabinet
minister Priti Patel - who resigned in November last year - today
accused senior officials at DFID of being part of the cover up (https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/5553582/priti-patel-says-government-aides-hushed-up-oxfam-sexual-misconduct-haiti/). Ms
Patel said senior DFID staff tried to talk her out of making a critical
speech about aid workers' sex abuse, arguing that it was only by UN
soldiers and to claim otherwise was "over-stepping the mark". Britain
is one of the top 10 contributors to the UN budget, handing over £2bn
a year.

ALAMY LIVE NEWS - On Monday ex-cabinet minister Priti Patel accused senior officials at DFID of being part of the cover up
Prof MacLeod insisted that meant the "difficult truth" that "child rape
crimes are being inadvertently funded in part by United Kingdom
tax-payer". He added: "I know there were a lot of discussions at senior
levels of the United Nations about 'something must be done' but nothing
effective came of it, and if you look at the record of whistleblowers,
they were fired. "We are looking at a problem on the scale of the
Catholic Church -- if not bigger." Senior Tory MP Conor Burns, who is
Boris Johnson's parliamentary aide, dubbed the Oxfam furore as just
"the tip of an iceberg in finding out what has been going on".
(https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/nintchdbpict0003842896993.jpg?strip=all&w=600)
PA:PRESS ASSOCIATION - Penny Mordaunt last night vowed to "step up our work to tackle sexual exploitation and abuse across the UN"
Mr Burns was a university friend of Prof MacLeod and called for him to
be listened to very seriously. Mr Burns added: "I believe that there
has been systematic, organised and covered-up activity going on over
many, many years". Penny Mordaunt tonight vowed to "step up our work to
tackle sexual exploitation and abuse across the UN and other
international organisations".
In September last year, PM Theresa May also threatened to withhold
cash from the UN and demanded it "win back trust".
No10 today insisted there will be "zero tolerance" towards any acts
of sexual abuse. But Downing Street ducked out of ordering any
investigation into Ms Patel's allegations, despite their seriousness.
DFID also said "there no current investigations" into any senior
officials turning a blind eye to abuse. One angry Tory MP said Theresa
May was refusing to act because the claims. Commons Development Select
Committee chair Stephen Twigg announced his MPs will grill aid bosses
and ministers over the scandal as soon as Parliament returns from its
half term break next Tuesday. "

Oxfam prostitution scandal widens to at least three countries
By Avi Selk (https://www.washingtonpost.com/people/avi-selk) and Eli Rosenberg (https://www.washingtonpost.com/people/eli-m-rosenberg/) February 13 [2018] Email the author (avi.selk@washingtonpost.com;eli.rosenberg@washpost.com)

(https://image.ibb.co/fQkq1p/Britain_Oxfam_Sex_Scandal.png)
The executive director of Oxfam International said she was "heartbroken" by an unfolding sexual misconduct scandal linked to aid workers in Haiti. (Reuters)
"A confidence crisis spread through the international aid community
Tuesday amid accusations that the charity Oxfam had buried reports that
its workers had prostituted survivors of the Darfur genocide, a
catastrophic earthquake in Haiti and possibly disasters beyond those.
Haitian President Jovenel Moïse condemned those involved in the
scandal, saying on Twitter that "there is nothing more outrageous and
dishonest than a sexual predator who uses his position as part of the
humanitarian response to a natural disaster to exploit needy people in
their moment of greatest vulnerability."
https://twitter.com/moisejovenel/status/963225633332584448
His words echoed those of a spokesman for British Prime Minister
Theresa May, who this week condemned the "horrific behavior" within
Oxfam, as her government opened an official inquiry into the charity
and a top executive resigned in shame.
But the scandal may not stay limited to Oxfam. The Guardian reported (https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2018/feb/13/oxfam-scandal-charity-commission-opens-inquiry-politics-live?page=with:block-5a828ebae4b0967c7192f35b#block-5a828ebae4b0967c7192f35b)
that British politicians are demanding an investigation "across the
wider aid sector," as new reports claim that vulnerable women were
prostituted across multiple charities and countries, and that warnings
went ignored for much of the 21st century.
Many of the allegations center on one man: Roland van Hauwermeiren, who
led Oxfam's relief efforts in Chad in the mid-2000s, when a genocidal
war in neighboring Sudan sent refugees and violence spilling across the
border.
"Things are very, very desperate and are only likely to get worse.
People are suffering; they are drinking dirty water and have nothing to
eat," van Hauwermeiren said in late 2006 (https://www.oxfam.org.nz/news/urgent-humanitarian-aid-delayed-by-violence-in-chad) in an Oxfam news release.
Citing a former aid worker, the Guardian reported Saturday that
prostitutes (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/feb/10/oxfam-faces-allegations-staff-paid-prostitutes-in-chad) were repeatedly invited to Oxfam's living quarters in Chad
and that van Hauwermeiren was aware of the activity, if not also
involved in it. Oxfam has since admitted (https://www.oxfam.org.uk/media-centre/press-releases/2018/02/oxfam-announces-resignation-of-deputy-chief-executive) that it knew about the
allegations, but it continued to put van Hauwermeiren in charge of
humanitarian missions.
A year later, the news agency IRIN reported (https://reliefweb.int/report/chad/sudan-chad-ngos-work-clear-their-name-after-child-trafficking), he served as the spokesman
for a coalition of nonprofit agencies working in Chad — including
Oxfam, Save the Children and Action Against Hunger. The community had
been scandalized at the time by the arrest of six workers from a
French-based aid group, Zoé's Ark, who were later convicted (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2008/apr/01/france.internationalaidanddevelopment) of trying
to abduct dozens of children from Chad.
At the time, van Hauwermeiren urged the world not to lose confidence in
the global aid community. "We continue delivering services as ever
before," he told IRIN. "The population is smart enough to make
differences."
As an Oxfam country director, van Hauwermeiren went on to lead missions
in Congo and then in Haiti after a deadly earthquake destroyed much of
the country's infrastructure and society in 2010.
About a year later, in late 2011, Oxfam cryptically announced (https://www.oxfam.org/en/pressroom/pressreleases/2011-09-05/internal-investigation-confirms-staff-misconduct-haiti) that six
workers had left the organization after an internal investigation
revealed unspecified "misconduct" in Haiti — including "abuse of power
and bullying" that brought the charity's "name into disrepute."
Van Hauwermeiren also had resigned, the statement read, taking
"managerial responsibility" for the misconduct, whatever it was.
Nearly seven years later, on Thursday, a report in the Times of London
revealed that Oxfam's investigation had turned up much more than
bullying in Haiti.
The Times reported that van Hauwermeiren and several male workers — a
small fraction of the more than 200 Oxfam workers in Haiti — had been
accused of turning their guesthouse into what they allegedly called
"the whorehouse."
"These girls wearing Oxfam T-shirts, running around half-naked, it was
like a full-on 'Caligula' orgy," a source told the paper.
After the report ran, Haiti's ambassador to Britain told the Guardian
that the victims "may have been underage kids." (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/feb/12/haiti-demands-oxfam-identify-workers-who-used-prostitutes) The Times alleged that
Oxfam deliberately limited its investigation in the hope of hiding the
scandal.
Oxfam has since admitted to knowing about the prostitution allegations
involving the Haiti and Chad missions. The charity's deputy chief
executive, Penny Lawrence, resigned on Monday. She was the program
director at the time of the alleged wrongdoings. "I am ashamed that
this happened on my watch and I take full responsibility," Lawrence
wrote in a statement (https://www.oxfam.org.uk/media-centre/press-releases/2018/02/oxfam-announces-resignation-of-deputy-chief-executive).
The charity's chief executive, Mark Goldring, has denied a coverup
attempt and defended Oxfam's misleading 2011 statements.
"With hindsight, I would much prefer that we had talked about sexual
misconduct, but I don't think it was in anyone's best interest to be
describing the details of the behavior in a way that was actually going
to draw extreme attention to it," he told BBC Radio 4 on Saturday,
according to the Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/feb/10/oxfam-faces-allegations-staff-paid-prostitutes-in-chad).
The scandal keeps widening, with new reports of sex abuse involving
charities other than Oxfam.
Before van Hauwermeiren joined Oxfam, IRIN reported Tuesday (https://www.irinnews.org/investigations/2018/02/13/exclusive-oxfam-sexual-exploiter-haiti-caught-seven-years-earlier-liberia), he
directed relief efforts for a charity that has since merged with Save
the Children.
Van Hauwermeiren was accused of arranging sex parties in Liberia after
its civil war in the early 2000s, IRIN wrote, and was sent home after
an internal investigation.
"Oh, my God, he's been doing this for 14 years," a former aid worker
who complained about his behavior at the time told the news service.
"He just goes around the system ... from Liberia to Chad, to Haiti, to
Bangladesh," she said, referring to reports that van Hauwermeiren
continued to work (http://www.dhakatribune.com/bangladesh/2018/02/11/oxfam-sex-scandal-sacked-staff-found-new-aid-jobs-bangladesh/) in the aid sector with yet another nonprofit
organization, Action Against Hunger, after he resigned from Oxfam.
Nor did Oxfam's problems end with van Hauwermeiren's departure,
according to new reports. A former Oxfam investigator told reporters
this week that "a culture of sexual abuse" festered in the organization
at least until 2015, according to Reuters (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-britain-oxfam/uks-oxfam-faces-more-pressure-after-new-report-of-sex-abuse-by-aid-workers-idUSKBN1FX10V). The investigator said
reports of a woman coerced into prostituting herself for aid went
unheeded by executives, as did allegations of abuse at a charity shop
in Britain.
Responding to the new allegations, Reuters wrote, Oxfam expressed
"regret that we did not act on [them] much quicker and with more
resources."
This is by no means the first scandal in the global aid community,
which some say is rife with sexual exploitation. Dozens of U.N.
peacekeepers were accused of abusing civilians last year, for example,
according to Al Jazeera (http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/07/peacekeepers-hit-allegations-sex-abuse-170701133655238.html).
But Oxfam — with about half a billion dollars (http://www.bbc.com/news/business-33843459) in annual income from
public and private sources — had been renowned worldwide for it relief
efforts. It was also a vocal critic of government missteps, such as
when the charity called out (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2017/10/03/oxfam-slams-the-trump-administration-for-its-slow-and-inadequate-response-in-puerto-rico/) the Trump administration's "inadequate"
response to last year's hurricane in Puerto Rico.
So its fall in stature has created an upheaval, with world leaders
condemning Oxfam's failure and the British government considering
whether to defund it.
"If the moral leadership at the top of the organization isn't there,
then we can't have you as a partner," Penny Mordaunt, Britain's
secretary of international development, told the BBC (http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-43020875) in reference to
Oxfam. "
