Women and Girls in Haiti Refugee Camps Face Risk of Rape

Women and girls who battled the odds during the earthquake in Haiti and survived, are now troubled by sexual violence and rape, according to Amnesty International.

More than one million people are still living in makeshift camps in the capital Port-au-Prince following the earthquake on January 11 last year, which left 230,000 people dead and another 300,000 injured.
