Scott Mc Kiernan Presents zReportage Issue #1018 Story of the Week: Published: TUESDAY, December 16, 2025: ‘LOST GENERATION: Haiti’s Gender Based Violence Crisis’ Pictures by ZUMA Press represented Miami Herald’s photographer Jose Iglesias and story by staff writer Jacqueline Charles: As heavily armed gangs take over more and more territory in Haiti, one group of victims has been all but ignored: The thousands of women and girls who have suffered sexual assaults as the gangs use rape to terrorize the country’s population. A Miami Herald investigation into the alarming rise of Haiti’s gang-related sexual violence shows that women and girls are disproportionately affected, yet the crisis receives relatively little attention. In some cases, survivors are subjected to prolonged captivity, repeated rape and forced ‘relationships.’ The perpetrators, armed with assault rifles, often attack in packs, leaving survivors with profound psychological scars.
