Activity 4.3 Why are aid agency staff are reluctant to report? The video above highlights the experience of a local staff member in the Democratic Republic of Congo. She was employed by a development agency who were working on the Ebola crisis. Listen to what happened to her and consider why aid agency staff are reluctant to report experiences of abuse and exploitation. Trigger warning: The themes and content of the course can inevitably sometimes be disturbing. It is important that you are prepared for this and look after your own welfare, particularly when you watch or listen to the audio and visual material. |
