On Monday (12 April) the second day of her two-day visit to Haiti, United Nations (UN) Deputy Secretary-General Asha-Rose Migiro visited a Prostheses and Orthoses workshop run by Handicap International in Port au Prince.
Later, she met with Haitian Parliamentarians and discussed issues of governance and electoral planning in the aftermath of the earthquake.
The meeting highlighted the role of the local Parliament in the setting up of a legal framework that protects women and girls against sexual violence and children during the current emergency as well as in the future.
In the evening, she joined a night patrol led by UN and Haitian police officers at a camp for displaced Haitians in Canapé Vert. During the patrol, she spoke with camp residents about nighttime conditions at the sprawling Port au Prince facility.
