[Stoves] Fwd: Support Potential Energy (my organization) this Giving Tuesday!

[Samer Abdelnour]

Dear all. In response to the advertisement below:

In contexts of violence refugee camps are almost never safe, to promote camps as safe is irresponsible and simple untrue. Moreover, there is no substantive evidence to support the claim that stoves reduce sexual violence, even though women may risk attack when collecting fuel. Potential Energy has a responsibility to substantiate these claims with evidence, namely that there is no sexual violence in the camps in which they operate and that their interventions actually reduce attacks, else they should discontinue such claims. 

Best,
SA

> With $2k we can help 200 women access an efficient cookstove.  These stoves reduce the amount of wood needed for cooking by half, so that women can remain more often in the safety of the camps. Additionally, the stoves emit 60% less smoke, helping to prevent respiratory disease and premature death.
