The World Bank Let Teachers Do This To Girls
3 Things I Learned + Bonus Video
Dr. Emily Brearley spent 25 years as an economist inside the World Bank and other global aid organisations. She saw first-hand how billions in aid money gets wasted, stolen, or used to run projects that actively harm the people they’re supposed to help. She’s now one of the loudest voices calling for the whole system to be torn down and rebuilt from scratch.
3 things I learned:
The World Bank ran a programme for young girls in Liberia where the teachers were abusing them. Emily reported it. She was told to shut up. The official response was: “We will see whether it affects the cohort.”
International aid doesn’t reach the people it’s meant to help. Emily says 100% of it is performative. It’s about careers, optics, and ideology, not results. She’s been asking colleagues for 25 years to name one project that worked. Nobody can.
UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, was turned into a tool to indoctrinate children. When Emily coded thousands of interviews with kids in Gaza, the most common word wasn’t “doctor” or “teacher.” It was “martyr.”
