Puritanical Over Reaction
I have reservations about the fuss over Oxfam staff employing prostitutes in Haiti.
The affair is being treated as if it were on a par with child abuse, or senior staff abusing their authority by making advances to subordinates.
The employment of a prostitute may be a straightforward transaction between consenting adults, in which case it is a private matter between the two people concerned.
There may well be other factors, but if there are they have not so far been explained.

I think the point is that people who were sent out to help Haitians in distress were taking advantage of unfortunate women who sold their bodies in order to make a living.
