VAW in ‘Yolanda’ areas, ‘sextortion’ elsewhere

By some coincidence, just days after Supertyphoon “Yolanda” hit our shores, an international conference was convened in London in which 13 governments agreed “to assume that women and girls are in greater danger of violence after natural disasters than men and boys, and that organizations should act quickly to prevent and treat it rather than waiting for confirmation that it has occurred.”
Indeed, in the dark days immediately after Yolanda’s wake, women were doubly at risk not just because of the ravages of the typhoon but also because of being sexually ravaged. And the threat remains.
In a report published in the New York Times this week, Sarah Wheaton says that according to United Nations agencies and other groups, “a new effort to protect women from rape and help them deliver babies in the aftermath of [Yolanda] remains troubled and inadequate.”
Some 65,000 women are deemed at risk of sexual assault and an estimated 1,000 women are giving birth every day in the Yolanda-hit areas. But, says Wheaton, the effort is “loosely coordinated among more than a dozen developed countries.”
“We’re on a big learning curve,” said Justine Greening, Britain’s international development secretary who convened the London conference. “What we’re trying to do is make sure that going forward we put the real focus on women and girls and keeping them safe in a way that hasn’t happened in the past enough.”
