This is a much expanded version of two shorter blogs, ‘A Short Note about Gender in Haiti‘ and ‘More on Gender in Haiti.’ It sums up the radical misunderstanding that seemingly all NGOs and journalists as well as many scholars have presented of gender in Haiti before and after the earthquake.

This paper describes the application of Killworth et al. (2006) Scaling-Up technique to estimate the number of rape victims in metropolitan Port-au-Prince, Haiti, in the three years following the 2010 earthquake. The data comes from a 1,600 household random survey of the communes of Leogane and Carrefour, two communes (counties) near to Port-au-Prince that were among those most heavily impacted by the January 12th 2010 earthquake. The work was financed by Care International.
