Women fear violence in Haitian camps

Summary:

This article is about women in Haiti who are living (camping) in front of the presidents building in Haiti due to the earthquake on January 12, 2010. They have no privacy, everything that happens there is on the news. That is not all the young men are the worst treat to them. When those men don’t have food or work, and they are just sitting around and drinking they will do anything to women. The place where they live is build with the bed sheets. It is so easy for anyone to break into their houses. During the day women have to bathe topless in an outdoor fountain. There has been also couple report of the rape in the camp. Before the earthquake Haiti was in the middle of implementing what the United Nation Population Fund called an impressive five year plan to curb violence against women and change the culture.

Personal response:
I feel terrible for the people who were victim of the earthquake in Haiti, especially for the women. I hope the security gets better in Haiti for those women and they get some facilities so that they can at least have a place where they can go to take bathe and have 100% privacy.
