Media Release (12/13/2020) Toronto, ON — Sharon Santiago of The RINJ Women , a global civil society women’s rights group says, “Women and girls are taking the hardest hits during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Incest and rape is out of control plus malnutrition and even starvation is now prolific among single parent families.”
In a speech to a group of possible backers Santiago who is a Director of the South Pacific Region pointed out that,
-
“The pandemic has created problems and solutions. On several occasions we had the chance to buy up shipments that failed delivery of non-perishable canned and other foodstuffs to help feed the hungry.
-
“Since then we have run out of money to do more than our normal operations which is why we have asked 3 million members for help..
-
“There are available supplies and the number of starving has increased.
-
“Malnutrition is excessive and we are in a position to help.
-
“We have picked four key areas in which to launch the project including Canada, USA, Philippines, Venezuela and possibly the Rohingya camps of Bangladesh and other provinces of Bangladesh.”
Michele Francis who leads a a group of women’s clinics and shelters for RINJ in the hard-pressed inland regions of Venezuela says that her partnership with a faith-based humanitarian group has improved the mechanics of moving goods into the country but unless they receive massive supplies of food, many will die.
“We have mastered the clean water issues for our local communities in our own way, but we cannot grow food now and we have little stores.”
“All Patients with COVID-19 now seem to have malnutrition as a comorbid underlying illness. And the brutality of the Madura government only makes things worse. We are better here in the hinterland but something has to be done about the cities because they are humanitarian disasters, and all the borders are closed to refugees now.”
Monique Deslauriers, a RINJ Director in the USA says that feed aid is needed in America. “We have a plan for slamming down a super boost in foodstuffs for the needy to allow the soup kitchens, food banks and daily bread operations to recoup and re-stock.”
“The biggest part of our plan is to hire jobless persons to work for our volunteers in every inner city we can reach, for as long as we have supplies, funds, and hungry Americans.”
Sharon Santiago says that the plan for the United States is to be mirrored in the Philippines.
“Our formula is to feed the hungry and hire local jobless persons to assist our workers. There is nothing more important to our provincial community members, and city ghetto dwellers, than a job. We are looking at rolling those jobs into the next project of managing communications, and lineups for vaccinations, tests, and other health care items at Barangay halls to ease the burdens on Barangay Captains.”
“We need to raise a lot of money, and right now we are talking to backers to explain that poverty and hunger is about to kill more people than COVID-19, and I know that is hard to imagine.”

We are the (Rape Is No Joke) RINJ Women who fought in the 2000s to get the money-making pro-rape and child sex slavery content off social media platforms, ending on 4 November 2011. Some of us collectively decided to continue our work for the universal rights of women and girls. We incorporated on 21 August 2012 after years of fighting as a grass roots organization called The RINJ Campaign. We have no restrictions on our missions for the safety and health of women and their families. That’s our story. We move forward striving for gender equality universally despite the setbacks that have been experienced globally, and despite the attacks of misogynistic authoritarians.
RINJ Women are fighting for the safety of women and children… “our biggest fear today is starvation in our communities”
