1-Appealing to human emotion --- Thanks Shane and Joe for pointing this out. I agree on the ethics of using photos of suffering children and understand the need to raise funds this way. I believe this advocacy approach is quite outdated, but it still works for certain target populations, e.g. the literal mum-and-dad type of donors. More well-informed stakeholders can quickly perceive this as exploitation which may not bode well for a humanitarian organisation.
