We’ve seen monthly admissions for sexual violence care almost triple at our Pran Men’m clinic in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. In 2021, we would see an average of 95 monthly admissions for this care. By 2025, monthly admissions increased to 250 on average.
We’ve had our Pran Men’m clinic open for 10 years, and we have continuously faced challenges in referring our patients to non-medical related assistance for victims and survivors of sexual violence, like safe shelters and livelihood support.
Meanwhile, the type of brutality we are treating is worsening. Since 2022, 57% of our patients at Pran Men’m reported being assaulted by members of armed groups.
Our latest report has the details on what must be done to provide better support to victims and survivors of sexual violence in Port-au-Prince ↕️
