@mercycorps@bethnakamura@killendave We spent 10 months investigating @mercycorps’ mishandling of sexual abuse allegations involving co-founder Ellsworth Culver.
Our reporting isn't done. Most importantly, we want to know: Did Culver abuse other children?
Help us investigate.

"A hotline is not enough. An HR email address is not enough...It is critical that management responds to unofficial complaints and rumours with the same urgency as formal complaints to determine if an investigation needs to be conducted." – @ColleenStriegel
"It is not uncommon for sexual abuse or harassment to be an open secret. In the vast majority of sexual exploitation, abuse, and harassment cases we investigate, staff in the organization knew that abuse was happening but did not report it." – @ColleenStriegel of @HumanitarianHR

Today would have been third anniversary of Report the Abuse. Though closure of my NGO still makes me sad, seeing movement grow and thrive is gratifying beyond words. Now is our time to correct the mistakes of the past, staring from #WorldHumanitarianDay

"Fern would not want to be remembered because of her death or the way she died. She would want to be remembered because of her life and the way she lived,” Vi Holland, Fern's Sister. #WorldHumanitarianDay
Today on #WorldHumanitarianDay we honor our dear friend, Fern Holland (1970-2004), who established the first legal clinic in a refugee camp for survivors of sexual exploitation and abuse.
In less than a year in Iraq, Fern helped start four women’s rights centers, interviewed victims for potential criminal cases, and helped write part of the Iraqi constitution that protects women’s rights.
