29 dec. 2021

An investigation into sex abuse by United Nations peacekeepers in the world’s conflict zones. (Aired 2018)
 
Award-winning correspondent Ramita Navai (Iraq Uncovered) traces allegations from Congo to the Central African Republic, with firsthand accounts from survivors, witnesses and officials. Some survivors were as young as 10 when they say they were raped or exploited by UN peacekeepers who were supposed to protect them. The film explores the failures and constraints of the UN — which has the authority to fire people, but not prosecute them — and the role of member states in dealing with the problem.

I honestly even being a doctor can’t seem to wrap my mind around how anybody can do this to children and how can anyone ignore this. This is infuriating and saddening to see authorities not doing anything until it’s reported by the media. Stop calling these people peacekeepers, it’s disgusting.

There should be more than just jail time for the soldiers responsible for these atrocities, there should also be sanctions and consequences for the countries who are responsible for these soldiers. These refugees have suffered enough being forced to leave their country due to violence or war, then to have to suffer further by those that are supposed to be tasked with protecting them and keeping them safe. That the UN is doing nothing to stop this is atrocious, and that the soldiers committing these vulgar and heinous actions suffer little in the way of accountability is laughable. More needs to be done to improve the protection of these vulnerable communities, but the refugees also need to be more proactive and demand something be done to prevent this from happening again. I know they’re in a perilous position, but that shouldn’t stop them from speaking up. They need to leave their fear of retribution and shame behind and stand as a community, it is the only way this will be dealt with and stopped. It needs to be thrown in the UN keeper’s faces that they will not be silenced. Journalists also need to keep up the pressure on the UN leaders to hold those accused accountable to the highest extent. It’s bullshit that the French government is just blowing these accusations off as a ploy for the refugees to get some money out of this. If they’re willing to stoop to this level then it must be taken to the highest level of those in the UN, it’s a shame that an organization put in place to keep those in need safe is itself taking advantage of the very people they’re tasked to protect. It’s a never-ending cycle of abuse at all levels of the UN bureaucracy and I’m afraid that will never change.

Most Sri Lankans dont even know their government simply paid the kids off to keep it hush hush. The UN didn’t put up much of a fight either. As a Sri Lankan, more pressure needs to be put on my government for this shit. Something to keep in mind the next time you consider Sri Lanka as a holiday destination, if the war crimes done during the end of our civil war weren’t enough.

All of the perps mentioned are men. Perhaps this also tells the story of how the male dominated UN overseas missions might be better served with more women, not that women are perfect but they tend to have a less chance of offending in this area also having more women in leadership poistions tends to help prevent the code of silence that is an issue also.

While the documentary seems to link UN Peacekeepers to peacekeepers from developed nations, the reality is that since the fall of the Soviet Union, the overwhelming majority of UN peacekeepers since then are from developing nations. MONUSCO the UN mission in the Congo in the 2000s for example ,the largest contingents were from Bangladesh, Egypt , India and Nepal. In fact, in the present era, UN peacekeepers from the West like Canada, the US, France and the UK usually only provide technical and air support. They usually do not engage in peacekeeping or direct combat as was the case before 1991. Some of the nations involved in peacekeeping ,especially if they happen to be from an adjacent nation are often the perpetrators of the worst atrocities on the local populace. That is why the likes of Uganda, Rwanda ,Chad and the CAR withdrew from the Congo and from participating in the UN mission there after engaging in mass rape and looting of Congo’s resources. The UN can easily convict those from the West, as was the case with the Frenchman, because they come from nations with robust judiciaries and rule of law. That will never happen when it comes to peacekeepers from developing nations, some of whom actively participate in peacekeeping in order to reduce their military budgets and thus outsource the salaries of some of their troops to the UN(Nepal, Ethiopia, Rwanda and Burundi are experts at this) and some intentionally encourage their troops to enrich themselves while in other countries (like every army in Central Africa where most are paid around $40-$100 a month). Because the UN has become so dependent on developing nations for peacekeeping troops, it is often reluctant to charge them .This is partially due to the fact that ,as the documentary highlights, the UN has no criminal jurisdiction and will thus send them to stand trial in their home countries(where they will be automatically be set free or bribe their way free) and also due to the threat of the said nations refusing to participate in peacekeeping missions in future. Both reasons were also why the UN denied, for years, that it was responsible for the introduction of cholera in Haiti, where there had been no cholera cases for over a century, only for Nepalese UN peacekeepers to introduce it there and end up killing thousands. The UN knew Nepal would not easily collaborate on what that country claimed was a smear campaign against them, and the threat of Nepalese troops, who do peacekeeping all over the world, from the Golan in Syria to the Congo ,being withdrawn.

1 Brown U Student Shares His Story Of Sexual Assault

Back to menu

27 jan. 2015


It was Andrew’s sixth day of his freshman year at Brown University when he was assaulted by a male student in his dorm bathroom. When Andrew brought on-campus charges, his assailant was permanently expelled.

Unlike myriad students who report mishandled cases in the burgeoning national campaign against sexual assault, Andrew initially believed his case was handled appropriately.

But after further research from The Huffington Post revealed Andrew’s assailant had previously been found accountable for two other cases of sexual misconduct and not expelled, Andrew was devastated.

Andrew has decided to share his story in hopes that victims of assault — and specifically male victims — be taken more seriously.

“It’s time to include male survivors’ voices,” he said. “We are up against a system that’s not designed to help us.”

2 Reimagining masculinity; my journey as a male sexual assault survivor | Landon Wilcock | TEDxQueensU

Back to menu

2 apr. 2018

As a survivor of sexual assault, Landon came to view his life as one broken into many pieces. He offers a unique perspective on how we can move forward as a society in dealing with not just male survivors but all victims of sexual assault.

Landon shares his story and explains the factors that prevented him from seeking help from anyone for months after the assault. Landon has had to learn how to view himself as a man, while rebuilding his own identity and masculinity. He details how breaking down his own identity from the ground up and finding his own version of manhood after a life changing experience has shaped who he is today.

Landon has been actively involved in sexual assault prevention advocacy. Recently he has been working with the Sexual Assault Center Kingston and two thesis film students on a new project to bring greater awareness to services for victims and survivors. In addition, he acts as a Peer Facilitator for the Queen’s Bystander Intervention Program, which works to educate students and university employees on preventing and intervening in situations of sexual assault and violence. Landon Wilcock is a fourth year student in Political Studies at Queen’s University. This past summer, he began his ongoing work at the Centre for International and Defence Policy (CIDP), and has previously worked in the Wealth Management and Energy industries.

Landon has been actively involved in numerous student associations at Queen’s University. He currently acts as the Chief Financial Officer for the not-for- profit organization Queen’s International Affairs Association, as well as serving as a Peer Facilitator for the Bystander
Intervention Program, which works to educate students and university employees on preventing and intervening in situations of sexual assault and violence.

In his free time, Landon enjoys writing, having contributed articles to both the Queen’s Observer and the Queen’s Journal. In his most recent article in the Journal, Landon detailed his own experience of sexual assault and post-trauma growth as a male survivor. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

4 The Cut: Exploring FGM | Al Jazeera Correspondent

Back to menu

5 okt. 2017

At least 200 million girls and women alive today have undergone female genital mutilation (FGM), the partial or total removal of the external female genitalia, also known as “cutting”.

It’s a practice most prevalent in Africa, the Middle East and Asia, but it also happens in Europe, the United States and Latin America. FGM is not linked to any particular religious faith; it’s practiced and carried out by members of different religions and cultures.

Considered an essential part of raising a girl and preparing her for womanhood and marriage by millions globally, FGM is typically performed between infancy and the age of 15.

It has no health benefits, but besides causing severe pain, FGM has serious immediate and long-term health consequences, including complications during childbirth. It can even lead to death.

FGM is banned in most countries, but it’s still legal in Somaliland, which – together with the rest of Somalia – has the highest rate of female genital mutilation in the world. Over 90 percent of girls in Somaliland are cut by traditional cutters, most of whom have no medical training.

“It was while making a web documentary for Al Jazeera about female genital mutilation that I realised how deeply rooted it is in many cultures, including my own,” says Fatma Naib, a journalist whose family are from Eritrea where FGM is common, but who grew up in Sweden where the practice is illegal.

So why does this dangerous, painful and sometimes deadly practice continue in so many countries? And what would it take to stop it?

Fatma Naib went on a personal journey – from Somaliland and Kenya to Sweden – to explore the traditions and controversies inherent to FGM.

She was as wreckless as the mother of the Polanski “victim.” Only the mother in the Polanski matter herself had been an actress and was quite at least conversant with the sexual lives of the Hollywood powerful. Allowing one’s daughter to leave your custody in the hands of an older, worldy, man for a photo “shoot”? “Oh,” the mother screamed, “I didn’t know the gun was loaded and I am so sorry, my friend…” Yeah, rright!

If you are a true Christian Man then it is physically and mentally impossible for you to harm a child. -Jesus

I completely agree with you! It is even more ridiculous because people who work in the education system go through training about how to property handle situations like this. Even if for some reason Aaron was not telling the truth it is not up to her to investigate. It is her job to support the victim and pass it along to the authorities.

In 1977, former Pennsylvania State University assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky founded the children’s charity the Second Mile, an organization designed to nurture underprivileged and at-risk youths. In 2012, Sandusky was convicted on 45 counts of child sexual abuse, and most of the victims who testified in the trial said they had met him through the Second Mile. (The organization, however, has never been charged with wrongdoing.) Another child who met Jerry Sandusky through the Second Mile was Matthew, whose single mother enrolled him in the camp to provide him with positive male role models. Matthew was eventually adopted by Jerry Sandusky, and revealed near the end of the 2012 trial that he had been sexually molested for years by his adoptive father. Watch as Matthew reflects on his initial meeting with Jerry Sandusky and explains how the grooming process began that first day. For more on #oprahprime, visit http://bit.ly/1VcoaSC

As he listened to testimony, he says he began to remember things that had happened to him. “My child self had protected my adult self. My child self was holding onto what had happened to me and had taken that from me.

This is top notch interviewing, our journalism professor just referred to this and it’s honestly blowing my mind.

And bottom of the barrel lawyering. Even Lionel Hutz wouldn’t let his client get interviewed like this. What a shit show this was. This lawyer should have been disbarred.
Terri Hinds
Crusty the Clown wouldn’t let a client be interviewed like this. Sandusky could’ve been convicted after the first answer.
Fred Flintstone
This interview should be required viewing for anyone doing forensic interviews. Just masterful work by Costas. He should be working for the FBI.
Dawson lucas
Never I ever want to hear from an older man with a young boy “we were just horsing around” That’s so heinous and disgusting
Alex Century
Bob Costas’ reactions are the best part of the interview.
Daniel Dougan
Bob Costas is the best journalist in the world of sports, bar none. Sandusky speaking to the media was dumb enough, but speaking to Bob Costas was even dumber. And it was Amendola’s IDEA!
Wynton McCurdy
This is literally the last high profile interview Bob Costas ever did.
Brian Johnson
I’m really surprised that Jerry Shitdusky hasn’t won an appeal for ineffective counsel being all lawyers will normally tell their client to shut up. Instead, he worked on getting him to talk as much as possible. If a person is innocent of these crimes, he would say “I have nothing to say except I know I didn’t do this” and end it there. This interview only made things worse for him, which is a good thing.

——
We recognize that all people have questions, but very few spaces exist to have open, honest, and respectful discourse around the deepest questions humans ask.

Join us for DIG & DELVE!

What is DIG & DELVE?

DIG & DELVE is an annual conference in Ottawa that is all about giving people a safe space to engage in discussion and explore deep issues that humans have been wrestling with for a long time.

One popular worldview promoted in our media is that it is foolish to believe in God. Influential writers disparage those interested in considering the relevance of faith to life.

Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence. – Richard Dawkins

At DIG & DELVE we hope to provide an open, honest and respectful environment where people can explore reasons why faith makes sense and why it is meaningful to give consideration to the life and teaching of Jesus. We hope to encourage curiosity and a healthy critical inquisitiveness. People coming from a spectrum of world-views, Christian and otherwise, are welcome.

At DIG & DELVE, we gather talented experts in their fields to come and share their opinions about deep issues human wrestle with and together we discuss some of the latest research around these questions.

Expect to be challenged. Join us at DIG & DELVE.

Spanier is being brought up on charges. But to say Paterno didn’t have a hand it is pure ignorance.
robwhitesays
It’s “stunning” that one assistant coach’s “first-hand”, “eye-witness” account, didn’t go to the police. Oh that’s right, Sandusky was already being investigated, from 1998 to 2001, oh and that’s right, the legal system failed underprivileged kids by letting Jerry walk. So Joe should have told police “Hey one of my guys thinks he saw something that might prove you guys messed up.” That sounds like something a judge wants to hear. Ever tell a Judge he’s wrong? It only ends up hurting you.

All of his victims were children from disadvantaged homes whom Sandusky, using his access to the university’s football program, had befriended and then repeatedly violated. Get your facts, straight, Jack.
