Amnesty International reports that thousands of women suffer sexual violence each night in the camps where they shelter since the earthquake.
As always, women suffer in the flesh all the hate and violence concentrated. It is now Haiti. Sexual violence was already difficult before the earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12, 2010, as noted a report by Amnesty International, but the tragedy shattered the few protection mechanisms that exist. " Since then, violations have multiplied exponentially. Only the first 150 days after the earthquake, the Commission of Women Victims for Victims (KOFAVIV, its acronym in French) recorded over 250 cases of rape, most of them affecting children. But organizations working in the field, know that the cases on record are just a fraction of the actual number.
