Save the Children chief executive Kevin Watkins, who has said some of things brought to light by the sex abuse scandal and praised reporters for uncovering abuses among international aid organisations
AID workers’ abuse victims do not speak out through fear of losing the meagre food and money provided by their abuser, independent child development consultant Corinna Csaky told MPs today.
Survivors of abuse and their communities “regarded this abuse as an inevitable fact of life,” she told the international development committee.
Ms Csaky said some victims did not speak out to avoid the “stigma,” with some girls in South Sudan afraid to speak out “because they may be forced to marry their abuser,” and some were “scared they might even be killed.”
