The report by Batik International on the activities of ACF in Laos is out. You can read it over on this site:
http://www.akha.org/content/sexualabuse/batikacfreport.pdf
The report points out many of the situations involving ACF staff and the Akha while leaving out others.
We will note rebuttals when we see them.
What we note.
Akha are at the bottom of the pay scale.
Sexual contact is occurring between staff and Akha villagers.
No mention is made of ACF ethic or guidelines on the issue.
Context of the life situation in Muang Long is not brought up even though it is one of the poorest locations in Laos.
