  "A WHISTLE blower has claimed UN staff could have carried out 60,000
   rapes in the last decade as aid workers indulge in sex abuse unchecked
   around the world
.
The claim is in a bombshell dossier that former
   senior United Nations official Andrew Macleod handed over to DFID
   Secretary Priti Patel last year.
   
   
   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 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. 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".
   
   
   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 and Eli Rosenberg February 13 [2018] Email the author
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2018/02/13/oxfam-prostitution-scandal-widens-to-at-least-three-countries/?utm_term=.2db93382395a

   
   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
   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 in an Oxfam news release.
   
   Citing a former aid worker, the Guardian reported Saturday that
   prostitutes
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 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, 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 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 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." 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.
   
   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.
   
   The scandal keeps widening, with new reports of sex abuse involving
   charities other than Oxfam.
   
   Before van Hauwermeiren joined Oxfam, IRIN reported Tuesday, 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 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. 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.
   
   But Oxfam — with about half a billion dollars 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 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 in reference to
   Oxfam. "
