The British charity Oxfam has released its own internal report into the sex scandal. It concluded senior aid workers at Oxfam, including the country director in Haiti, hired prostitutes at Oxfam properties in Haiti and then tried to cover it up. Oxfam's internal report includes claims that three Oxfam staff members physically threatened a witness during the charity's internal investigation. For more, we speak with Edwidge Danticat, Haitian-American novelist, author of several books, including "The Farming of Bones," which won an American Book Award. We also speak with Taina Bien-Aimi(C), executive director of the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women, and Sean O'Neill, chief reporter at The Times newspaper in London, which broke the story of the scandal.
