World Food Programme

The World Food Programme (WFP) only feeds women and girls. Many reports misuse the word proritize when an examination of the WFP's own writings on this topic make it clear that food is never given to men and boys. The WFP goes on to assert that men routinely take food from women, without offering any supporting evidence.

"It is our methodology to distribute only to women to ensure that food gets to women and children in Haiti," --Josette Sheeran, WFP executive director

This strategy fails to cover families that lack female members, such as those who would have lost them in the disaster itself and male same-sex couples.
