UPDATE: U.N. Decides that Men Can’t Be Trusted with Distribution of Relief in Haiti

Posted on February 3, 2010 by Mike

Two days ago, I wrote about the decision by United Nations agencies to distribute food in Haiti only to women.  The newsy.com site (which produces news videos by taking news coverage from multiple sources) has this video on the issue (or you can go to the newsy.com site).  It examines the motives for the decision to only give food vouchers to women and also has a discussion of how the policy has impacted the supply distribution process.
