‘Poverty porn’: Global NGOs often use stereotypical images that distort the realities of the poor #IndiaNEWS
International nongovernmental organisations and other charities often use photos that distort the everyday realities of the people in low-income countries they seek to help despite decades of pressure to stop doing that.That is what I found when I studied 320 photos that 32 of the largest of these global charities operating in the US used in March 2017 for fundraising.A big concern is that nearly all the women pictured appear to be single, suggesting that no one who is married could deserve charitable support from afar. This imagery also implies that men in developing countries, who are generally people of colour, do not take care of their families.About half of the photos included only children, with girls over-represented, with no adults pictured – giving the impression that they might have been abandoned. Another one in four featured mothers with infants and other young children – and no men. Forget #BlackFriday …the trend you can really feel good about is #GivingTuesday ! �?���[X��X�HH�YHYX[�[��و�[����]H[��YH��[�H�[�[���[�ڛ�[�HK�ˈ[���[�H�ܛH8�-{���GG3���B�6���sT3�T�Bf�F6��6fRF�R6���G&V�U2�6fWF�T6���G&V���fV�&W"#b�##��FF�F����r�RR�b��vW2vW&R�bv��V�v�F����V��"6���G&V�&�V�B���ǒBR��6�VFVBv�BV&VBF�&RGv�&V�G2&V���v��r���&VB��&R
