What? I have not seen the article, and obviously I can't vouch for every single staff person in a global organization, but that is a very serious accusation. The PC staff members that I knew put PCV safety as their top priority. I was involved in evacuating a volunteer from a situation that involved getting landing permission for a emergency med flight out of South Africa, a scrambled French military helicopter flight with PC medical staff and the coordination of dozens of people and three governments. When a volunteer is in danger then it is an all hands on deck situation.

Sorry, it wasn't HN it was reddit that I saw the article. A woman had an AMA about it: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/uj3ym/iama_former_peace_corps_volunteer_that_was_raped/ http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/uj3ym/iama_former_peac... The most shocking aspect of this was how the Peace Corps did nothing to help her afterwards, and even basically blamed her. There was a more broad news article on this problem, here's one from last year: http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/peace-corps-gang-rape-volunteer-jess-smochek-us/story?id=12599341 http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/peace-corps-gang-rape-voluntee...
