I add my voice to many claiming that the humanitarian sector remains colonialist and should be questioned. #AidToo

Shocks me how certain international development orgs still try to justify huge expat/local salary differentials for the same job. Surely it's clear by now that there are very few things an expat does better than someone with the same skills who actually knows their own country?!

„But the U.N. is a place where accountability often comes slowly and in secret. It was unclear when, if ever, the U.N. would release the results of the investigation that it said this past week had been completed“

[duckrabbit @duckrabbitblog]

It made me realise just how commodified images of Black Africans are. And the complicity baked into the system of misrepresenting the people in the pictures. All for the purpose of raising money/selling images.

I never told this story.

But change needs to come.

They need to adapt at many levels, not just social media.

[Monica Mukerjee @MonicaMukerjee]

I'm reminded of someone, years ago, who confidently told me, "The Geneva Conventions & ICRC are older than social media. They will outlast such trends."

Neither of us could have predicted now. For anything to survive, it often needs to adapt. Let's hope aid groups can in time.

Thank you @aidnography! Your lovely words about my blog fill my writer heart with joy ��️

In 2022, in my posts I share memoirs with a broader view that aim to show my personal experience as a white humanitarian worker. I add my voice to many claiming that the humanitarian sector remains colonialist and should be questioned. https://t.co/ZmjvW2JNLA

“An uncomfortable truth is that the vast majority of organisational leaders in our sector are male, white, well-educated and middle-class.[…] Can they really be up to the job […]? Or maybe accept that it is just time to “pass the baton” or, at the very least, “pass the mic’’?”

[Bond @bondngo]

An active intersectional practice against racism and white supremacy in all their manifestations and across all areas of work is required, including across EDI practices.

@lancegravlee @MeaghElizabeth “What makes this story worth telling is not the drama of an editorial shakeup at one of the world’s top medical journals[…]

Yet the podcast does serve a purpose—just not the one JAMA intended: it illustrates rather than illuminates the problem of structural racism in medicine.”
