Migiro came to Haiti to assess conditions in camps for people displaced by the January earthquake, including sexual violence against women.
In the Acra camp in Port au Prince she met with female UN Police (UN POL) officers who are working to secure the camp where 20, 000 people are living.
The camp, managed by the American Refugee Camp (ARC) is providing the population with water, sanitation and cliniques. International Organization for Migration (IOM), UN Office for Project Services (UNOPS) and soon UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) will be also operating there.

And this is what I am here to see”.
In Acra, Migiro met with representatives of Haitian women organizations who expressed their concerns of the conditions in the camps and on women rights, in general, in Haiti.
At the end of visit to the camp, Migiro watched a performance by Haitian street theatre called “Zonbi Lage.” Their performance showed how Haitians experienced the earthquake of 12 January.
