https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/calais-jungle-volunteers-sex-refugees-allegations-facebook-care4calais-a7312066.html Volunteers in the Calais Jungle have been accused of sexually exploiting refugees and even child migrants. The Independent has discovered a serious row has broken out among some unpaid charity workers at the camp in northern France, with some believing forging sexual relationships with adult refugees is natural in such circumstances, while others say it breaches all usual codes of conduct. I have heard of boys, believed to be under the age of consent, having sex with volunteers. I have heard stories of men using the prostitutes in the Jungle too. The man added that the majority of cases in question involved female volunteers and male refugees which he claimed risked the objectification of women volunteering in the camp. His comments prompted accusations of sexism and misogyny from female members of the group. One commented on the post: I find this attitude incredibly patronising and paternalistic with added sexism and racism.
