Oxfam sex abuse scandal

[BLOCK F]

Unless I have missed something, I am surprised that there has been no thread on the charity sex scandal involving 120 aid workers from Britain being accused of sexual abuse in the last year.
Additionally the revelations that Oxfam workers paid locals for taking part in organised sex parties in Haiti is surely worth a comment or two from the worthies of NSC, especially after all the moral judgements made against the 'President's Club' nasty rich men for touching up and trying to kiss scantily clad hostesses.
Just goes to show, those wonderfully moral high ground charity workers are just as bad, or even worse than the 'over privileged nobs'.
Come on you Lefties, rise up in anger and have a pop at the do gooders doing bad, or stand ready to be accused of hypocrisy!

I wish I could say that I find this hard to believe but I don't.
I did some work for a charity fundraising firm a few years ago when there was a lot of negative press in that sector.

The practices being used were disgusting but I will never forget the reaction from Oxfam in particular who claimed they had no idea what was going on and threw the firm under the bus and withdrew all work. I know for a fact that the mandate came from Oxfam to harass and hound people for money and that they had access to all call recordings from the call centre and should have been able to identify any wrong doing had they done any auditing.

The whole experience soured me on charities and nothing shocks me. I now refuse to donate money and only offer my time.

I read that they were using prostitutes. Is that illegal in Haiti? Can people not use the services if prostitutes or is there something more sinister in these revelations?

Publius, have a look at the news coverage online or in some of the papers.

A sad indictment of our society that these cases are often exploited to advance a particular political agenda.

Charity fundraising is a business where plenty of people are living comfortably through it. I met someone who set up his own charity street fundraising 'company'. He was all about getting rich. The managers are earning above the national average and yet they are relying on the public to donate money.

Why can't these people set up a business which makes money where they can put a percentage of their profits towards a good cause rather than have 'minions' stand in the street begging for sign ups?

This Oxfam scandal is just an example as to what the charity sector has turned into. A joke.

The benefits of charity work to get richer has long been known
