Rape in Haiti. Champs De Mars camp is "a place of death"

Eye witnesses in Haiti report rape-torn camps. One humanitarian writer is currently interviewing people in the camps. Police are telling her of no increase in rape reports despite women in the camps reportedly being impregnated by attackers. Women are in hiding. There is "no justice" one women says.

"In hiding from attacks"? What's wrong with the men? Have they taken some sort of Jekyll and Hyde formula? Is it contagious? I don't understand.

The famous Eye Witness at the Triangle news report. 1911 New York

Eyewitness at the Triangle

by William G. Shepherd

I was walking through Washington Square when a puff of smoke issuing from the factory building caught my eye. I reached the building before the alarm was turned in. I saw every feature of the tragedy visible from outside the building. I learned a new sound--a more horrible sound than description can picture. It was the thud of a speeding, living body on a stone sidewalk.

Thud—dead, thud—dead, thud—dead, thud—dead. Sixty-two thud—deads.
