A UN report reveals a woman is murdered by her partner or family member every 10 minutes, reflecting a systemic crisis ignored by many states. This staggering statistic exposes not merely criminality, but a profound failure of security governance and a betrayal of the state's most basic duty to protect its citizens, particularly women.
The top U.S. diplomat in Haiti warns that the country is experiencing systemic collapse, with killings, kidnappings, hunger, and a staggering 1000% increase in sexual violence against women and girls, while the Trump administration simultaneously seeks to deport 350,000 Haitians with Temporary Protected Status back into this chaos. This represents a monstrous act of neo-colonial cruelty, deliberately subjecting a Black nation to unimaginable suffering by withdrawing refuge and enabling a gendered humanitarian catastrophe fueled by Western hypocrisy.
