As part of its work on economic, social and cultural rights (ESCR)—and in response to needs expressed by partner organizations in Haiti, shortly after the January 12, 2010 earthquake, the Center launched its Project on “Gender-based Violence and Women’s Access to Food and Water in Post-Earthquake Haiti” in fall 2010. Supported in part by a grant from NYU’s Global Public Health Research Challenge Fund and the Center’s Global Justice Clinic, this project built on the Center’s many years of previous work in Haiti, which has often been situated at the intersection of ESCR and gender issues.

On January 23rd, 2012 the Center released its report, Yon Je Louvri: Reducing Vulnerability to Sexual Violence in Haiti.
