Violence against Women and Girls in Haiti: The Enemy Within

Narrated by internationally renowned TV journalist Daljit Dhaliwal, this 21st Century short documentary goes deep into Haiti's makeshift camps to expose acts of violence and sexual assaults women, especially young girls, have encountered since the country's devastating earthquake in January left 1.5 million homeless. While measures are being taken by, for instance, the Haitian National Police, UN police and UN Women, to curb such type of violence, this video underscores what has yet to be done to ensure the safety of women and girls as Haiti continues to build itself back from the ground up.

Over 2.4 billion dollars was given for aid to Haiti, However, only about half of that actually made to the Island. My heart goes out to the Hatian people.

Do the men have jobs, are they working and do they have the opportunity to out earn other males? You said that Haiti needs to be rebuilt, who do you think is going to do that??? Put these men to work so they have a competitive echelon to compete for females. Rape is common without such an economic structure and as such an equal opportunity for competitive advantage for males.

This is a disaster. What is the U.N. doing to help the men rebuild???
