Paragraph
Paragraph text
It is easy for individuals to abuse their power in relief camps and to ask for sexual favours in exchange for basic necessities. The Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency provided funding to Save the Children (Sweden) in Haiti to address issues of gender-based violence and sexual exploitation through awareness-raising, training and establishing community-based focal points. Despite these services, according to Human Rights Watch, girls and women were badly neglected in recovery efforts.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on the sale and sexual exploitation of children, including child prostitution, child pornography and other child sexual abuse material
