Two years ago this week, a massive earthquake struck Haiti, bringing death and destruction on an unimaginable scale. Many hundreds of thousands of Haitians lost their lives or suffered terrible injuries on January 12th, 2010. Those who survived faced an uncertain future without homes, livelihoods, protection, or the basic services needed to survive.

In Haiti, violence against women and girls has increased dramatically since the January 2010 earthquake. Along with our partner organizations in the Haiti Adolescent Girls Network, the IRC gives teenage girls safe places to go to talk with their peers and explore their feelings with trained counselors.

A look back at the IRC’s emergency response in Haiti


January 10, 2012
By The IRC

When the devastating earthquake struck Haiti on Jan.12, 2010, the IRC sent a team to Haiti that provided clean water, sanitation and health care to survivors, and addressed the special needs of women and girls. Two years later, the IRC continues to work in camps and neighborhoods that lack basic services, assisting Haitians who are struggling to get by as their country slowly recovers and rebuilds.
