(Credit: Getty/UNICEF/Salon) On Tuesday, people walking by UNICEF’s headquarters in Manhattan were met with a strange sight: A group of protesters accusing the venerable United Nations children’s welfare organization of harboring a shadowy pedophile agenda. They held professionally printed signs reading “UNICEF Sexualizing Children” and “Shame on UNICEF” while Sharon Slater, the head of a group called Family Watch International, accused the organization of “a hidden agenda that nobody knows about: to sexualize children.” One could be forgiven for dismissing these protesters as raving wingnuts spouting an outlandish conspiracy theories.
