WHO personnel raped ebola victims in the Congo 1

Here's a crazy story... WHO personnel found to have raped at least 104 in the Congo, while they were there fighting an Ebola outbreak. Thankfully, the WHO is compensating the victims with a one time $250 payment, which they will receive only once they've undergone a training class on how to spend the money wisely on entrepreneurial pursuits.
Quote:
LONDON (AP) — Earlier this year, the doctor who leads the World Health Organization’s efforts to prevent sexual abuse travelled to Congo to address the biggest known sex scandal in the U.N. health agency’s history, the abuse of well over 100 local women by staffers and others during a deadly Ebola outbreak.
According to an internal WHO report from Dr. Gaya Gamhewage’s trip in March, one of the abused women she met gave birth to a baby with “a malformation that required special medical treatment,” meaning even more costs for the young mother in one of the world’s poorest countries.
To help victims like her, the WHO has paid $250 each to at least 104 women in Congo who say they were sexually abused or exploited by officials working to stop Ebola. That amount per victim is less than a single day’s expenses for some U.N. officials working in the Congolese capital — and $19 more than what Gamhewage received per day during her three-day visit — according to internal documents obtained by The Associated Press.
The amount covers typical living expenses for less than four months in a country where, the WHO documents noted, many people survive on less than $2.15 a day.
The payments to women didn’t come freely. To receive the cash, they were required to complete training courses intended to help them start “income-generating activities.” The payments appear to try to circumvent the U.N.'s stated policy that it doesn’t pay reparations by including the money in what it calls a “complete package” of support.
Many Congolese women who were sexually abused have still received nothing. WHO said in a confidential document last month that about a third of the known victims were “impossible to locate.” The WHO said nearly a dozen women declined its offer.
The total of $26,000 that WHO has provided to the victims equals about 1% of the $2 million, WHO-created “survivor assistance fund” for victims of sexual misconduct, primarily in Congo.
Thank god the WHO is doing the right thing (As they are always known to do) and looking after these women. It's a clear demonstration that, even though these women are Congolese, they are respected as equals to women from any ethnic background, around the world.

Unfortunately humans being what they are, always take advantage of people who cannot fight back. The people most likely to do that often gravitate to positions that have frequent contact with vulnerable individuals.

Yeah... People who want power are almost never the ones who should have an ounce of it. You see that from factory floors, all the way up to the highest levels of government. Unfortunately, it actually is an argument for leadership by royalty, because royal successors don't necessarily want the job, and they are usually well-trained for it. It gives you the possibility of idealistic/benevolent leadership, but also the opposite. It would be interesting to see an experiment of leadership roles passed down through generations, but also with the same checks and balances on power that our system provides.
Anyways... It doesn't hurt to talk about these things as many times as we see them happening in the world. If anything, at least it spreads awareness that this sort of thing occurs, and gives people some healthy skepticism, with regard to organizations like the WHO.

Oh well in a somewhat similar case the World wildlife Fund was apparently paying paramilitary groups in congo to displace native peoples from thier ancestral lands to set up conservation parks and used them as "anti-poaching informants." Later it came out that from the early 2000s to around 2019 these groups were running a muck across Asia and Africa raping torturing and murdering folks while being paid and supplied by WWF. The horrific acts included the gang rape of several pregnant women and the genital mutilation of a village by "tying penises together with fishing line." It was a major shitshow at the time as u turns out a huge amount of tax payer money went to funding these people plus all the kindhearted folks donations thinking they were doing animal conservation stuff not gang rapes. Anyway a bunch of international onlookers did a big investigation and ruled WWF wasn't complacent in the rape torture/murder stuff but that they did somewhat try to cover it up from the public eye when they found out.

That's what I was thinking, but there's an article from Associated Press saying the WHO admitted some of their staff members raped the women, and the organization paid $250 to certified victims.
I can't post the link because mouse is MIA.

Would be nice if there was any decent oversight, but yeah.
This story reminds me of the rape scandal in Haiti a few years ago involving UN personnel.

And the French alleged pedos with dog fucking.

No Charges in Sexual Abuse Case Involving French Peacekeepers
By Benoît Morenne Jan. 6, 2017
PARIS — A panel of French judges has decided not to bring charges against soldiers accused of having sexually abused children while on a peacekeeping mission in the Central African Republic, officials said on Friday.
Soldiers were sent to the country, a former French colony, in 2013 to help quell a sectarian conflict there, but allegations of sexual and physical violence by the troops have been an embarrassment for France.
They also have been an embarrassment for the United Nations, where rights investigators compiled a confidential report in 2014 about the allegations and the organization did not move quickly to rectify them. The French authorities became aware of the allegations only when the report was leaked to them.
The lapse at the United Nations in promptly notifying the French led to an investigation by an independent panel that accused some of the organization’s officials of having passed the allegations “from desk to desk, inbox to inbox” and having failed to meet their core mission to protect the rights of the most vulnerable civilians.
The confidential report chronicled testimony by six children — ages 9 to 13 — who described abuse by the soldiers in a camp at Bangui M’Poko International Airport in the capital from December 2013 to June 2014. Four of the children said they had been abused by the soldiers, while two said they had witnessed the abuse.
Acting on the report, French prosecutors opened a preliminary investigation in July 2014. The case was not known to the public until an advocacy group, AIDS Free World, provided a copy to the British newspaper The Guardian, which reported the findings in April 2015.
A spokeswoman for the Paris prosecutor’s office, Agnès Thibault-Lecuivre, said on Friday that the judges completed their review of the abuse allegations on Dec. 20. The decision to close the case, or bring it to trial, will be definitively made in less than four months, after the judges have received any additional information from groups representing the accusers and the prosecutor’s office.
“There’s a whole problem about identifying people,” she said in a phone interview, noting that the case was particularly difficult because it was based solely on the children’s accounts, without independent evidence. “Are these accusations clear, accurate, detailed, repeated? And, based on these accusations, have we identified who might be the perpetrators?”
The completion of the investigation was first reported by the radio network RFI and the newspaper Le Monde.
Paula Donovan, co-director of AIDS Free World, reacted angrily to the news. “This is a travesty,” she said in an email. “If African soldiers had sexually abused little boys in Paris, the investigation wouldn’t be closed until every perpetrator was behind bars.”
Ms. Donovan also pointed out that President François Hollande of France had vowed publicly to “show no mercy” to perpetrators of the abuse after it had become known.
Emmanuel Daoud, a lawyer for Ecpat, an organization that combats the sexual exploitation of children, said in a phone interview that he was not surprised that criminal charges would not be brought. The organization has filed a civil claim seeking financial compensation for wrongdoing it says it believes was committed by the peacekeepers.
“Neither the judges nor the Paris prosecutor’s office has required that anyone be charged,” he said, adding that “we’ll take a look and see if we agree with the judges and the prosecutor’s office.”
Eléonore Chiossone, a technical expert at Ecpat, said the group was considering whether to keep looking for evidence, which it might present to the judges.
“We know how difficult it can be to collect testimony from children,” she said. “It’s not always easy for children to be comfortable with that procedure.”
Stéphane Dujarric, a spokesman for the United Nations, said in a statement that it was following the developments in France “with interest” and that member states have the responsibility “to fully investigate and hopefully prosecute these cases"
Mr. Dujarric also noted in the statement that the French troops were not part of the United Nations peacekeeping operation in the Central African Republic “and were not under U.N. command.”
Ms. Thibault-Lecuivre said that the authorities on Nov. 20 closed a second investigation, involving the alleged abuse of a teenager by a French soldier in Boda, west of Bangui, in 2014. The teenager had initially accused the soldier of raping and impregnating her, but later changed her account and said they had unprotected but consensual sex, according to the French news site Mediapart.
The cases have been controversial. A draft of a United Nations memo in October suggested that some cases of sexual abuse in the Central African Republic might have been fabricated by people seeking to profit by making false accusations.
At least one other case of abuse involving French peacekeepers in the country — one concerning allegations that peacekeepers forced four girls in a displaced persons camp to have sex with a dog — remains under investigation. Last year, the United Nations referred the case for an investigation by the French Defense Ministry.
-------------------- “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

I didn't actually mean Ebola victims haha... I just didn't know how to word it, without the title being too long. That didn't seem like a pertinent distinction to make here anyway. It doesn't matter whether or not they had ebola... it matters what the WHO did to them, while on a mission to "combat ebola".

Damn dude... That story makes me so sad :-(... That's the kind of shit that really destroys my faith in humanity. What would possess people... A group of people.. to go do such heinous things? I understand that group mentality can influence people and make them do things they wouldn't ordinarily do... but you would think most people have a line somewhere.
I have a friend that has done some really terrible things while they were on drugs, and they always blame the drugs. I have always maintained that I would never do certain shit, drugs or no drugs, and I never have. Some people have lines they just don't cross, and others don't. There is a point when you can't blame external factors for a general lack of character.

Just covered this in the whole PTSD aside in the Ukraine thread. Dehumanization and othering is what it takes to do inhumane shit to other people. Add in group association and membership requirements, which often do have an underlying effect very similar to trauma bonding, and it becomes very difficult to resist carrying out vile actions.
Everybody thinks they can resist peer pressure, but the people that are actually capable of resisting all peer pressure often have an antisocial personality diagnosis. Resisting peer pressure is a hallmark of antisocial behavior.
This is part of why I don't think psychopathic behavior is inherently bad. A psychopath is someone that is incapable of naturally associating with the status quo. It's like that quote about a sane man being insane in an insane society.
