Biden-Era USAID Accused Of Involvement In Human Trafficking In Ukraine

A recent report from the U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Inspector General’s office has revealed significant flaws in the agency’s handling of foreign aid aimed at addressing humanitarian needs in Ukraine. The findings suggest that the agency failed to properly vet the organizations it funded to prevent s*xual exploitation and abuse of Ukrainian war victims, exacerbating an already dire situation for vulnerable individuals fleeing the war.

The report, released on Thursday, highlighted that USAID did not adhere to its own internal policies when approving aid for Ukraine between February 2022 and September 2023. The agency’s failure to ensure that aid organizations had adequate protection measures in place was a key concern. Furthermore, the report disclosed that USAID did not fully implement its recommended actions to address these issues, adding to the growing criticism of the agency’s oversight practices. This controversy arises amidst the Trump administration’s ongoing push to shut down USAID, a move that has sparked discontent, particularly among progressive groups who argue that the agency plays a critical role in supporting vulnerable populations worldwide.

The investigation by USAID’s Inspector General found that over 90% of the funding awards for Ukraine lacked essential prevention and reporting measures needed to protect Ukrainians — especially women — from s*xual exploitation and trafficking. These omissions are particularly concerning in light of media reports and warnings from international advocacy groups that Ukrainian women, fleeing the war, have become prime targets for s*x traffickers. Disturbingly, traffickers have been reported near aid shelters in Europe, preying on the most vulnerable refugees.

According to the report, women and children constituted nearly 90% of those fleeing Ukraine after Russia’s invasion in 2022. Women, in particular, are at heightened risk of s*xual exploitation, abuse, trafficking, and forced prostitution. The humanitarian organizations receiving funding from USAID were required to outline specific measures to safeguard against these dangers in their applications for aid. However, many of the applications submitted by these organizations lacked sufficient details on protection protocols and did not meet the standards set by USAID. Despite these deficiencies, the agency approved around $750 million in funding for the organizations.

Moreover, USAID’s failure to properly monitor these organizations’ adherence to prevention policies was another significant concern. Due to movement restrictions in Ukraine, USAID relied on virtual meetings and third-party monitors for oversight, which may have hindered the agency’s ability to ensure compliance with its own guidelines. The Inspector General’s office found it troubling that, by August 2024, no reports had been made regarding s*xual abuse incidents involving USAID-funded partners in Ukraine, raising fears that such cases were going underreported.

In response to the Inspector General’s findings, USAID agreed to implement two of the three procedural recommendations outlined in the report, which included improving oversight and reporting mechanisms. However, the agency pushed back against a proposal to directly question aid entities about their adherence to s*xual exploitation and abuse prevention guidelines. USAID argued that raising such sensitive issues could potentially harm the very people they aim to support, suggesting that such inquiries might not align with best practices.

USAID’s handling of the Ukraine crisis, coupled with concerns over its overall effectiveness, has drawn sharp criticism from conservative figures and organizations, particularly since the Trump administration initiated efforts to close the agency. Terry Schilling, president of the American Principles Project, lambasted the agency’s operations, calling USAID “a prime example of the fraud, waste, and abuse that American taxpayers are tired of funding.” Schilling went on to argue that USAID has been “writing checks to programs that clearly should not exist with the help of Joe Biden and other Democrat leaders.”

Trump Admin Takes Axe To USAID, Making The Agency Virtually Non-Existent

The Trump administration’s actions to dissolve USAID have been met with significant pushback, including a court ruling that blocked the suspension of foreign aid and the agency’s eventual dismantling. In a further escalation of tensions, President Trump’s administration removed Paul Martin, the Inspector General of USAID, just days before the report’s release, signaling its continued resolve to undermine the agency’s operations.

Critics of the administration’s stance on USAID funding also point to previous instances where the agency allowed millions of taxpayer dollars to flow toward foreign terrorist groups and Left-wing advocacy organizations. These revelations have intensified concerns about the agency’s accountability and effectiveness in fulfilling its mission. On February 6, the American Principles Project released a database documenting USAID’s history of funding programs promoting “Gender Ideology” worldwide, further fueling the debate over the agency’s priorities.

Despite these criticisms, some argue that dismantling USAID would be a grave mistake. Advocates for foreign aid believe the agency plays a vital role in addressing global humanitarian crises and advancing democracy, particularly in regions where governments are unwilling or unable to provide support for their citizens. However, as debates continue, conservative voices like Schilling argue that reforming and cutting funding to agencies like USAID is necessary to curb what they perceive as wasteful spending and political overreach.

A federal judge decided on Thursday to extend a temporary halt on the Trump administration’s plan to place thousands of U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) employees on leave, as he continues to review whether a longer suspension is necessary.

Unions representing federal workers filed a lawsuit to prevent the shutdown of USAID’s operations and to reinstate the foreign aid that was frozen by President Trump. Trump had accused the agency of fraud and corruption as justification for the planned closure. On his first day in office, he issued an executive order freezing foreign aid for 90 days for review.

U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols had previously paused the administration’s plans until Friday, but he decided to extend the hold until February 21. He plans to make a ruling on whether to grant a preliminary injunction before that time. Despite this, Nichols expressed doubts about the unions’ argument in the lawsuit.
