Is this why women are so eager to import these Third World migrants?
From The Independent:
Volunteers in the Calais Jungle have been accused of sexually exploiting refugees and even child migrants.
The Independent has discovered a serious row has broken out among some unpaid charity workers at the camp in northern France, with some believing forging sexual relationships with adult refugees is natural in such circumstances, while others say it breaches all usual codes of conduct.
One man who raised the alarm was later subjected to a barrage of online abuse.
...Charity leaders working in the area have confirmed there is a serious problem, with worries about predatory behaviour by both male and female volunteers.... They just said this to be politically correct, they later admit it's predominantly women.The issue came to light after a bitter online discussion between volunteers that was later deleted after concerns were raised that it would become a scandal if it were seen by journalists. The Independent saved a copy before it was removed.
The exchanges were started by a male volunteer on a Facebook group for Jungle workers called Calais People to People Solidarity, which has more than 36,000 members. The Independent has decided not to publish his name.
A screenshot of the Facebook post, since deletedThe man wrote: "I have heard of boys, believed to be under the age of consent, having sex with volunteers. I have heard stories of men using the prostitutes in the Jungle too.
"I have heard of volunteers having sex with multiple partners in one day, only to carry on in the same vein the following day. And I know also, that I'm only hearing a small part of a wider scale of abuse."
The volunteer went on to say these sexual encounters were damaging for refugees, who are "in an entirely unequal position of power" and "entirely dependent on the aid that is provided by volunteers". While that may be true in some cases, many of these migrants state plainly they're coming to Europe to have sex with "western sluts" and collect welfare."Sex from a person who is in a position of power or influence, in such a one-sided affair, especially where it is perceived that aid or better aid can be gained from it, that it is, and can be defined as sexual abuse," he said.
He cited the code of conduct used by UNHCR, which states that sexual relationships between aid staff and beneficiaries are "strongly discouraged" due to "unequal power relationships".
The man added that the majority of cases in question involved female volunteers and male refugees -- which he claimed risked the objectification of women volunteering in the camp.
He wrote: "Female volunteers having sex enforces the view (that many have) that volunteers are here for sex. This impression objectifies women in the camp and increases the risks." The female volunteers are there for sex, you just said it, that's what this whole discussion is about. His comments prompted accusations of sexism and misogyny from female members of the group. One commented on the post: "I find this attitude incredibly patronising and paternalistic with added sexism and racism.
"There is a serious point in here among all the moralistic bullshit but I find it very off-putting. I find the assertion that women choosing to have sex encourages rape quite frankly disturbing." Great, now we know who the "empowered women" are that are "servicing" these migrants.
But others agreed with him and acknowledged that volunteer-refugee relationships were a serious issue in the camp that should not be "covered up".
One commenter wrote: "I don't think we should be covering this up, just that we should be dealing with it as organisations looking to impress upon individuals the gravity of the situation and the power imbalance of volunteer-refugee relationships. It's a serious issue, and must be dealt with seriously."
Another commented: "Sweeping this issue under the carpet will not make it go away. We were all in uncharted territory the first time we arrived in the camp and so this was bound to happen to a lesser or greater extent."
Others meanwhile called for the group's admin to remove the thread over fears a "news outlet would gain access to it".
The post was deleted within several hours of it being posted, but it has since emerged that the issue is well known among charities working in the area.
...Maya Konforti, who volunteers for Auberge des Migrants, told The Independent about another case in which a British female volunteer had built up a "bad reputation" in the camp by sleeping with multiple refugees.
Ms Konforti said: "I know one British woman who had a very bad reputation in the Jungle. If she had been volunteering with Auberge she would be thrown out, but she did it on her own, she was here independently.
"She found the right refugee and now she's with him. That's what I hear. She's back in the UK and lives with a refugee." This is some of the first hard evidence "Refugees Welcome" really means "Refugees Welcome in my vag."
This is what feminism hath brought us.
