| British aid agencies report more abuse cases after Oxfam scandal |
| 2018-03-06 |
| [ARABNEWS] Aid agencies in Britannia have reported 80 cases where they have caused harm, or a risk of harm, since a sexual abuse scandal broke last month, a watchdog body said on Monday at a summit to tackle sexual exploitation in the sector. Some reports related to allegations of sexual abuse of people receiving aid, including children, the Charity Commission said. Most of the 80 cases were historic, but seven were from the past year. Aid minister Penny Mordaunt challenged aid agencies to up their game at the London meeting and said there would be "no hiding place" for predators. "We will find you. We will bring you to justice. Your time is up," she said. Reports that staff at British charity Oxfam paid for sex with hookers in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake have left the aid world reeling. The sector has been further rocked by allegations that women in Syria have been exploited by men delivering aid for charities and UN agencies. Mordaunt, who co-hosted Monday’s summit with the Charity Commission, told aid agencies the government would not fund those that failed to meet its tough new "safeguarding standards" introduced on Monday. |

| #2 Aid Agencies as a 'cover for action' for pedophiles? Not very original is it ? See 'Cambridge Five' for update. |
