A UN report has revealed widespread sexual violence and escalating gang violence in Haiti, with over 1,500 deaths attributed to gang violence this year alone. The report highlights corruption, poor governance, and the erosion of rule of law in the country. Gangs are recruiting children, trafficking weapons, and intimidating journalists. The situation has led to mass displacement, with hundreds of thousands affected. The report emphasizes the urgent need for accountability and calls for a halt to the violence and human rights abuses in Haiti.
