Articles and Chapters Tectonic Shifts offers compelling on-the-ground perspectives on the aftermath of Haiti's cataclysmic earthquake. Following a critical analysis of the country's heightened vulnerability as a result of centuries of underdevelopment and misguided foreign aid interventions, the authors address a range of contemporary realities, foreign impositions, and political changes in the relief and reconstruction periods.

In March 2011, the GJC and CHRGJ released a briefing paper highlighting preliminary results of the household survey it administered in January 2011 aimed at identifying any links between GBV and access to economic, social and cultural rights in the camps for the internally displaced population in Port-au-Prince. This briefing paper was published long prior to the final report in order to make public the most pressing and salient descriptive results of the survey. Among the findings were higher sexual violence prevalence rates than previously recorded in post-earthquake Haiti and heightened vulnerability among young women, particularly those experiencing severe food deprivation.
Reports and Briefing Papers
Drawing on the U.K.’s record on the Prevent strategy, the briefing paper on Women and Violent Extremism: The U.S. and U.K. Experiences uses a gender and human rights lens to analyze the U.S.’ new policy of using a community-based approach to build resilience against violent extremism. The briefing paper finds that by largely adopting a now-rejected version of Prevent, the U.S. plan risks co-opting non-security sectors, such as education and health, to the detriment of immigrant women.
