Charlotte Hamrick: Something to consider: "All Haitians are suffering right now. But, women are often hardest hit when disaster strikes because they were at a deficit even before the catastrophe. In Haiti, and in every country, women are the poorest and often have no safety net, leaving them most exposed to violence, homelessness and hunger ...in the wake of disasters. Women are also overwhelmingly responsible for other vulnerable people, including infants, children, the elderly, and people who are ill or disabled. Because of their role as caretakers and because of the discrimination they face, women have a disproportionate need for assistance. Yet, they are often overlooked in large-scale aid operations. In the chaos that follows disasters, aid too often reaches those who yell the loudest or push their way to the front of the line. When aid is distributed through the “head of household” approach, women-headed families may not even be recognized, and women within male-headed families may be marginalized when aid is controlled by male relatives."

Jennifer Sachs: 'Few in the world have endured the hardships that you have known. Long before this tragedy daily, life itsself was often, a bitter struggle. And after suffering so, much for so, long to face this new horror must cause some to look up and ask...have we somehow, been forsaken? To the people of Haiti we say clearly, and w...ith conviction-You will not be forsaken. You will not be forgotten.' ~President Barack Obama
