This is an excellent discussion of the Oxfam sexual abuse scandal in perspective. Oxfam should not be scapegoated, nor should we forget or fail to support the excellent and vital work. See: sites.tufts.edu/reinventingp…

@snek87I I love the image of 'Tweeples'!
GP 2011 committee drafted chair's report; 2013 ONLY UNISDR and Swiss do so: is the democratic & transparent?
HFA2 = enforced targets, scientific rigour, heavy focus on local gov & communities, deal with 'everyday' & tech & bio haz & conflict!
Why not HFA2 run by non-UN, international network with UNISDR as partner, not the other way round? This allows CRITICISM of governments!
HFA2 = address corruption, displacement, land & water grabs, discrimination by gender, ethnicity, religion = root causes!
