  • After the earthquake in Haiti, one of the symbols of its destruction was the crumbled presidential palace. The palace is long gone, but now there is a Christmas tree instead of the palace that no one know when it will rebuild.

  • Marie Kena Michelle 19.<br />
<br />
Marie lost her mother in the earthquake, and it was some time until she managed to find her father. 48 hours after the disaster struck, she found her family house ruined and her mother buried underneath.<br />
<br />
"I was sitting on the ruin for hours and wept," Marie recalls. "I got back to the camp by night time. It was already dark. A group of young men followed me and covered my head with a sack. They raped me. One after another. I remember 15 of them. Some of them I recognize even today. I hear their voices as I walk through the camp. I didn't go to the police because they were not doing anything anyway, but I reached the hospital. They gave me a prescription (for a day after pill) that I would have to buy, but I had no money at that time. Perhaps it would have prevented this problem from being conceived, saving me from this pregnancy. It was so difficult going through it, in every aspect. Knowing how he was conceived, the humidity, the mice all over... I tried to keep myself clean so with no other choice I would bathe outside, even though everyone was looking and it was scary."<br />
<br />
She gave birth in a tent inside the camp in a hard labor that lasted over 24 hours. "I lost a lot of blood and I couldn't move. I thought I was going to die. Luckily I found my Kapap who really cares for my baby. He used to be motorcycle mechanic before the earthquake but he lost all his tools and now he cannot work and has no job. We go to church every Sunday and pray to God. Only he can help us here."<br />

  • Nadine Josile, 19.<br />
<br />
There were six of them who entered the shelter. They covered my eyes with a blindfold and raped me one after another." Nadine recalls. "I was paralyzed. It was only few days after I had lost everyone, except my son who was born a few months before the earthquake struck. They were stepping on him. I remember him crying while they were raping me. Perhaps because of this trauma he has not started walking yet. Those criminals ruined my life for the second time. The first time, the earthquake came and took everything from me, left me with nothing, I ran out of the house with only what I had on me. And then they came, and left nothing out of me. I don't know what I will do when this child will be born. I hardly get any food for me and for my first child. Sometimes it seems I will have to kill him, sometimes I ask God to end my life. But when these thoughts hit me, I embrace my son and know he needs me. Perhaps the child that was conceived in sin will bring us luck."<br />

2010<br />
The story of Venise, <br />
 "I cannot not feel guilty," says her mother, Isma. "I sent my 11 year-old daughter to help a neighbor who had lost his wife and stayed by himself to take care of the children. She was supposed to help him with the house chores for a little money, hoping I would be able to feed my five children. After a few times she spent at his place, my daughter came back and asked me why did I let him do that. She did not give specifics, but she did not have to. I knew immediately. I went to talk to a few men who are helping me run the camp, and asked for their help. They tried to catch him, but he escaped. We reported the police, but as far as I know, they also did not manage to arrest him."<br />
<br />
Following what happened, the family was transferred to another camp and the authorities are trying to assist the mother with finding a job to provide for her family.<br />
