“The way you saw the earth shake, that’s how our bodies are shaking now,” says a Haitian woman activist, speaking about sexual assault and violence against women and children in Haiti since the earthquake January 12, 2010. We’ll discuss the safety of women and girls, reports that aid is not reaching the people of Haiti, and that the process for rebuilding Haiti politically, economically, socially and physically, has excluded women.
Guests: Marie St. Cyr, Haitian human rights advocate, Board Member of MADRE and Lambi Fund of Haiti. Beverly Bell author of the book Walking on Fire: Haitian Women’s Stories of Survival and Resistance and Nicole Phillips, staff attorney of Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti

We’ll look at child sexual abuse and examine why so many people defend the perpetrators while blaming victims when they’re girls. We will examine how this double standard impacts African American girls in particular. We’ll also explore how we can end the language that grooms consenting bystanders and victims, and how we can end child sex abuse.
Guests: Deborah Donovan Rice, Executive Director, www.stopitnow.org
