28 July 2010 Comments: 0

IJDH released a major report Tues­day, the first of its kind to focus exclu­sively on the cri­sis of rape and other vio­lence against Hait­ian women and girls. The report describes the preva­lence of rape in dis­place­ment camps, and the fail­ure of the Hait­ian gov­ern­ment, the United Nations, and other mem­bers of the inter­na­tional com­mu­nity to mount an effec­tive response. The report also gives voice to the many grass­roots women lead­ers who are fight­ing for their right to live free from violence.
