Global policies addressing the protection of women and girls are unevenly applied, notably in cases of humanitarian crises that are hidden or intentionally forgotten in the context of global imperialism and racism. This chapter highlights the contradictory impact of the United Nations in the Global South as an international body producing policies aimed at protecting women’s rights in humanitarian settings and coordinating development interventions that ultimately lead to infringing racialized women’s rights. In an era of globalization, power dynamics between the political ‘North’ and ‘South’ shape knowledge production on the disasters and imaginaries of recipient countries. Analyzing specific “rape epidemic” discourses generated around gender-based violence following the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti, this chapter sheds light on the ways in which the mainstream discourse on sexual violence disseminated by INGOs or media stakeholders mobilized racist frames. Interviews conducted with Haitian feminists and the Ministère à la Condition Féminine et aux Droits des Femmes (Ministry of Women’s Status and Rights), as well as government documents and gendered needs assessments, highlight the discrepancies between locally-identified gender equality priorities and the strategies adopted by UN-coordinated humanitarian actors. This discourse generated devastating consequences for the Haitian feminist movement and the struggle for gender equality.
