Haitian Men Being Denied Food Because They're Men, Reports National Coalition For Men

NCFM Demands an End to Sex Discrimination in Relief to Haiti

Said Angelucci, "Men are asking, 'What about me? I didn't get anything. I need food.'" ('http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/americas/01/31/haiti.food.aid/')

"Haitian men are just as human as Haitian women," stated Angelucci. "They need food, shelter, clothing and necessities just as anyone else.

"A number of them are with children, too, including ones whose wives died or were injured."

Even charities as large as UNICEF appear to be leave Haitian men out of the picture. ('http://www.salon.com/life/broadsheet/feature/2010/01/13/haiti_women_children')

"This is just another form of male disposability," added Angelucci. "This idea that Haitian men won't distribute the food to their families is just sexist stereotyping. Haitain men work long hours at dangerous jobs to feed their families and risk their lives in disasters to rescue others. But these charities stereotype them as selfish. That is outrageous. Why should they be denied food just because they're men?"
