Current and Past Recommendations to the UN Security Council (Monthly Action Points)
Haiti (March 2012)
In the Council’s discussion of the expected report on the UN Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), empowerment of women and protection of women and girls should be prioritized. Women and girls in Haiti, particularly those in displacement camps, continue to be vulnerable to violence, including sexual violence, and victims of this violence are often unable to access services. The Council should inquire into greater security measures in the camps, and initiatives for the empowerment and protection of women and girls. The Council should also inquire as to measures being taken to enforce the UN zero-tolerance policy on SEA, and on all abuses committed against the civilian population by MINUSTAH personnel.
