  • A woman in the Petionville Camp at the edge of Port au Prince, Haiti, is interviewed by police officials after lodging a domestic violence complaint against her husband. Some 50,000 residents are packed onto what was once a golf course, and the close quarters and frustration at lack of employment and other opportunities contributes to tensions, according to Pascal Rwatangabo (right), a Rwandan officer with the United Nations MINUSTAH police force. "With nothing to do but sit in their tent all day under the sun, it's not surprising to see problems," Rwatangabo said. "And when the men start drinking, it's even worse. Yet when we start to arrest a man for a violent crime, the woman will often plead with us to let him go, because she realizes her precarious economic situation will deteriorate if the man is not there, even though his violent behavior may continue." Also present was MINUSTAH official Aphrodis Nkandineza (center). The Petionville Camp is the largest camp of hundreds of locales hosting more than a million people left homeless by the January 12, 2010 quake.

  • 7 September 2017, Kampala, Uganda: Nyambura Njoroge from the World Council of Churches dressed for Thursdays in Black. The Thursdays in Black Campaign is marked by people around the world dressing in black every Thursday, in solidarity with victims of sexual and gender-based violence, and to stand up for a world without rape and violence. Taking place on 4-8 September in Kampala, Uganda, a World Council of Churches (WCC) and UNAIDS regional consultation on HIV Treatment Adherence and Faith Healing in Africa has gathered to address issues of “faith-healing only” practices in the context of HIV and AIDS. At the core is the question of how religious leaders can partner with governmental organizations nationally and internationally, as well as with other parts of civil society to develop strategies to advocate for HIV treatment adherence, and to build bridges to those among faith-healing only practitioners who are open to dialogue.
