Liberia: Girls raped at US Charity meant to protect them
The charity called "More Than Me" on Saturday said on its website that it is "profoundly, deeply sorry" for the revelation.
Several girls in Liberia have been subjected to systematic rape at a US charity. The girls had been at this charity seeking protection from sexual abuse.
The charity called “More Than Me” on Saturday said on its website that it is “profoundly, deeply sorry” for the revelation.
The details of the scandal was made public following an investigation by a US investigative media, ProPublica.
The investigative site ProPublica said its work shows that girls at a school owned by the charity in a slum had been repeatedly abused by it’s co-founder, Macintosh Johnson.
The school at West Point is located within a notorious slum in the capital Monrovia.
Johnson died in 2016 of AIDS while on trial for the alleged sexual abuse. There are concerns he might have infected some of his victims – who were aged as young as 10.
More Than Me said in its statement that “To all the girls who were raped by Macintosh Johnson in 2014 and before: we failed you.
We gave Johnson power that he exploited to abuse children. Those power dynamics broke staff ability to report the abuse to our leadership immediately.
Our leadership should have recognised the signs earlier and we have and will continue to employ training and awareness programmes so we do not miss this again.”
The school were the abuses took place opened in 2013. It become the first of 18 schools that More Than Me opened in Liberia to empower girls.
More Than Me said it had been “naive to believe that providing education alone is enough to protect these girls from the abuses they may face – strong institutions, safeguarding policies and vigilance are needed to do that”.
The charity is now providing “private, school-wide HIV testing” to all students after this revelation.
