I cried while watching this video. It is beyond touching.
This video is about a newborn baby in Haiti that was thrown in a toilet by it's mother. The child was pulled out of the latrine and washed by a male police officer and another man (while the local women stood refused to touch the baby).
My instincts while watching this was to pick up the baby, put him or her in a blanket, hold it close to my chest and take a warm wet cloth to begin wiping it clean.
It defies defined gender roles that men should be so caring & nurturing while women stand back and do nothing. This spoke volumes to me.
