The list, part 2 -- the numbers

87 abusers minus 19 (22%) that they'll name = 68 abusers they will not name (78%)*

Ethnos360 has been pretty successful at obscuring the scope of abuse in their organization. It's difficult to gather accurate numbers, but I wanted to take a minute to compare the number of perpetrators of abuse that they will admit to with the list of abusers they will name. An MK did a helpful breakdown of the numbers in 2019. Since then more reports have been released, but they have seemingly become less and less complete as time goes on, and the reports even admit that MKs don't trust them and won't participate (lack of participation equals lack of accuracy).

These numbers keep me up at night. Combing through the reports, that a substantial percentage of MKs don't trust, I added up the abusers that Ethnos360 is willing to admit to. If you look at the number of accusations (the alleged abusers that Ethnos360's defense-attorney coordinated investigations couldn't corroborate), the number could be approximately double. And all of these numbers only include allegations where MKs knew Ethnos360 was doing an investigation and trusted them enough to participate, investigations that were released (they refuse to release Paraguay), and investigations that were actually completed (where are investigations for all of the other countries Ethnos360 works/has worked in, including many African countries?).

Are all 68 unnamed offenders deceased, criminally charged, perpetrators of intrafamilial abuse, etc.? We can easily find multiple examples of that not being the case. There's the 2024 case mentioned in the last post. That perpetrator isn't even part of the 87 numbered, isn't on the list, is alive, etc. There are several perpetrators named in both the Fanda/Senegal report and the Via report that don't seem to meet any of the exception criteria and yet aren't named (see image above). There's of course the case of the former missionary who is now on the SO registry but has seemingly never been included in any of these reports/numbers.

In the document that contains their list, Ethnos360 gives a breakdown of what they claim is the total number of abusers, including ones they won't name, throughout the history of the organization. The number they give is 39 for sexual abuse and 38 for physical abuse. That totals 77. If you go through each report and take the number of adult abusers for physical and sexual abuse, the total is 87 (not including the Paraguay report they won't let us see). Even their own reports don't seem to match the numbers claimed.

Taking all of that into consideration, how much can we trust these reports and these numbers? And if scratching the surface already reveals inconsistencies, inaccuracies, and misleading statements, what is the true scope of abuse in Ethnos360?

*These numbers are based on my reading of their reports. The reports seem to attempt to obscure the truth and cause confusion. If you see something I missed, please let me know.
