Between 2010 and 2011, Haiti experienced both a large-scale earthquake and Hurricane Sandy. After these natural disasters, the frequency of rape and sexual assault incidents spiked due to the lack of security in displacement camps. Unstable conditions such as food shortages, loss of housing, and loss of family members also contributed to an increase in violence. According to Villard-Appolon, the Haitian justice system did not provide an adequate response to this crisis; no one was convicted of rape within the first two years following the January 2010 earthquake.
