Haiti 17
Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.18 While gender-based violence did exist prior to the 2010 earthquake, there have been reports that the sudden spike in internally displaced persons (IDPs) living in camps has seriously heightened insecurity and has led to an increase.19 However, despite this, of the 78 post-earthquake grants that the World Bank and Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) approved to date, only one addresses gender-based violence.20 The UNDP’s Gender Inequality Index rates Haiti as 158th out of 187 countries.
