	Uneasy questions about the White Ribbon Campaign
		It is arguable whether the white ribbon maintained that meaning when men appropriated it for a high-visibility P.R. campaign in support of men allegedly ending violence.
		On the contrary, during its first fundraising campaign, the WRC raised a lot of money with the explicit promise that some of it would be turned over to feminist organisations.
		Indeed, WRC leaders are accountable to no one but to the media and to international bodies such as the UN, who fly WRC cadres to key "hot spots", in an apparent strategy of creating added entitlement for male technocrats on gender issues in select countries.
