Information about Haiti through a human rights lens.

[Ida Sawyer @ida_sawyer]

Here are 10 key components of the response, as outlined in our new @hrw report ⬇️

[Ida Sawyer @ida_sawyer]

🧵 Killings, rapes & kidnappings have skyrocketed in #Haiti, amid a humanitarian catastrophe, state inaction & complicity, a crisis of democracy, a dysfunctional judiciary & the legacy of abusive interventions.

Jodi dimanch lan, 2 videyo ap sikile sou WA.
1 kote bandi ap bat yon fanm pou jouk yo kase bra li.
1 lòt kote yon jenn gason 30 lane mete dife sou tèt li, nan Vètyè, Okap.
Tou 2 tradui dram n ap viv nan peyi a.
Se yon konplo kont lavi ki gen nan peyi a.
