Migelaita Calvile, 17.

"I came to Port-au-Prince after the earthquake to try finding a job, because in the mountains where my parents live there was nothing left for us. I met a friend here and one day while we were walking to another friend of ours we saw a lot of boys. We did not pay any attention, but on the way back, they were waiting for us. They covered my head and dragged me somewhere. I don't remember much but I know they only let me go the day after." Migelaita recalls, "I haven't told anyone what happened but after a few months I hadn't gotten my period, I went to check with the doctor, and he delivered me a result that left me shocked. I am pregnant. I am only 17, but for me, my life is over. Before that I could work somewhat, but now... Sometimes people here bring me things to eat and I try to find a job. But work like washing the dishes and cleaning is also hard on me now, in the last stages of my pregnancy. I am very much afraid of what will happen. After all, I hardly feed myself and I cannot tell my parents what happened to me. I really do not know what to do, I am depressed all the time because of that. I have no one here who can help me. I cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel, but I will not give the child up for adoption."
