Oxfam In Haiti: Why Did He Take The Birth Certificates?

Why did he take the birth certificates?

• To sell the identities in the U.S.;
• To get fake Social Security Numbers;
• To get the Trust Funds;
• To get Foster Care and Adoption Subsidies;
• To get fake paychecks;
• To get fake mortgages;
• To get fake loans;
• To get fake grants;
• To get submit fake votes;
• To get fake insurance policies;
• To traffic more tiny humans with the identities.

The financial possibilities are endless.

Woman tells ITV News she began relationship with 'orgy-loving' Oxfam ex-Haiti chief Roland van Hauwermeiren at 17

A Haitian woman who claims to have had a relationship with the former Oxfam official at the centre of a sex abuse scandal has told ITV News he spotted her from an Oxfam vehicle in the street while she was eight months pregnant and told her: "I find you very sexy, how can I help you?"

Mikelange Gabo said Roland van Hauwermeiren, who ran the Oxfam operation from Haiti after the 2010 earthquake, took her number and sent her gifts after her baby was born in 2011 before their sexual relationship began when she was still 17.

She said the Belgian later lost interest in her "because he was with too many girls", adding that he "loves orgies" and "loves lesbians".

"In a week he may have five girls coming in and out of his place," she said.

Mr Van Hauwermeiren, now 68, has admitted "mistakes" but denied separate allegations he used prostitutes at his Oxfam-rented villa.

The international scandal has threatened Oxfam's UK and EU funding and seen celebrity ambassadors Desmond Tutu and Minnie Driver quit in condemnation.

Speaking from Haiti, Ms Gabo, who is now 24 and again pregnant, told ITV News she was the local woman who had the relationship with Mr Van Hauwermeiren, who she knew as "the big director of Oxfam".

She said they met in 2011 in Morne Calvaire, the neighbourhood where they both lived, as he drove past her as she returned home from her job selling suits.

Ms Gabo said they exchanged "good evenings" and Mr Van Hauwermeiren asked where she lived, then told her: "I find you very sexy, how can I help you?"

With her family home around 200ft from the Oxfam official's house, she said he then began sending gifts after the birth of her son, which her mother would collect, for the baby until she went herself to collect items.

"After one month I went to see him," she said. "He helped me, he gave me nappies, milk. He helped me and gave me money as well, for the child."

She said their sexual relationship began shortly afterwards and remembers she was "17 because it was right after I had the child".

Ms Gabo said Mr Van Hauwermeiren would give her and the baby gifts after he had been travelling.

"He would bring back children's clothing for the toddler and he brought things for me," she said.

Ms Gabo said locals even speculated her son was Mr Van Hauwermeiren's but said the rumours were false as she was eight months pregnant at the time they met.

She remembers Mr Van Hauwermeiren as a hard-drinker with a voracious sexual appetite.

"He used to have a lot of girls," she said. "He drinks a lot of whiskey and went clubbing a lot."

Ms Gabo said she only knew Mr Van Hauwermeiren had left Haiti when she visited his home to discover a "sign on the gate saying that he had moved".

She said she was was disappointed in him "because he was not supposed to leave without telling me".

Six years on, though, she said she felt no anger towards him, nor does she feel exploited.

"If God puts someone on your path to help you it is something to be thankful for," she said.

But Ms Gabo said Mr Van Hauwermeiren had "done wrong" by allegedly falsely offering work for young women.

"He took the birth certificates, promising them work, which never materialised," she said.

She also said she was unaware of how he used Oxfam funds.

While Mr Van Hauwermeiren has confirmed having a sexual relationship with a local woman, he denied giving her money.

In a four-page open letter, he said the relationship had "fueled rumours" that left him and Oxfam "compromised".

Mr Van Hauwermeiren also insisted he met the woman after giving her younger sister milk powder and nappies for her child.

However, Ms Gabo disputes the account and told ITV News she had the relationship with him and said the baby products he offered were for her child.

Pedophilia: You Can Not Stop Those Who Have Never Been Caught

Always remember, the U.S. offers domestic programs to contract with these child welfare advocates who are so lustfully dedicated in their passion to care for the children of "The Poors", (always said with clinched teeth).

It is called foster care and adoption.

There are layers, upon layers of background checks and database for convicted sexual deviants who prefer tiny humans, but there is nothing to detect or deter those who have never been convicted.

In child welfare, everything is a secret, to protect the best interests of the child, remember.

You can not stop those who have never been caught.

Besides, the industry of trafficking tiny humans is a multi-trillion dollar operation, sactioned in the name of the tax exempt god.

The international aid industry needs to be aware of the scale of sexual abuse happening on their watch': Former UN chief says 'paedophilia' is a word charities dare not say

child trafficking in child welfare NGOs

Andrew MacLeod worked for UN Emergency Co-ordination Centre in Pakistan

He notes warning paedophiles were turning to developing world 20 years ago

They gained access to children by working for charities in places where paedophilia is ignored or difficult to police

This is what I believe was going on in Haiti in 2011.

Dame Barbara Stocking, who was Oxfam chief executive at the time, says that it has not been proven that any of the prostitutes paid by its aid workers were underage. True – but it certainly has not been disproved.

In any case, all prostitution in Haiti is illegal, so why didn't Oxfam report all the allegations to the police immediately?

I've been working to draw attention to this endemic sexual corruption for the past nine years. But mention paedophilia at an aid meeting, and everyone starts looking for the door.

In part this is due to the natural revulsion that most people feel at the subject.

Predators know this, of course, and rely on it for protection. They are hidden by the repulsiveness of their crimes.

But the reluctance to face up to this also stems from a desire to protect the very good work done by aid agencies.

A blind eye is turned to abuse, for fear of the consequences if it is exposed.

Perhaps the biggest factor, though, is instinctive disbelief. Aid organisations work on behalf of us all, to alleviate some of the world's worst suffering, in the wake of earthquakes, famine and other natural disasters. The idea that, through our donations or taxes, we have all been enabling child abuse is unthinkable.

In aid circles, the problem is played down, wrapped in jargon: instead of child rape, people talk about 'sexual exploitation and abuse'. The mere existence of an acronym – SEA – makes it seem as if the situation is under control.

Even after recent headlines, many in the industry still refuse to talk about it.

I've been trying to hold an open discussion on the 'Fifty Shades Of Aid' internet forum – a sort of Mumsnet for aid workers. Yesterday, I was banned from the site.

People are scared, even if they are not abusers and predators themselves. Scared of admitting that they heard the rumours and didn't act.

They are scared of confessing that their industry, which has enjoyed such a reputation for virtue and selflessness, hides so much rottenness.

And they are scared that they will be accused of complicity in the crimes.

British law not only prohibits sex with a child under 16 – it also makes it illegal for anyone to encourage, support or facilitate that behaviour, anywhere in the world – something, perhaps, for Oxfam to consider after its hush-hush internal inquiry into events in Haiti in 2011.

Senior figures in the UN and some of our best known charities have known for decades that this problem was rampant.

They should have put in place systems for training, prevention, protection and prosecution. By failing to do so they were committing an offence.

They were party to child sex crime. They did nothing, and they should face charges.

If they're not worried – they should be.

Professor Andrew MacLeod was chief of operations of the UN Emergency Co-ordination Centre in Pakistan, and is now visiting professor at King's College, London, and legal adviser to Hear Their Cries, which campaigns to stop child abuse and rape.
