As a goodwill ambassador for the UN Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM), Nicole Kidman's primary focus is on the safety and security of Haitian women against sexual violence.

Nicole says: "The lack of shelter and security makes them more vulnerable to violence, in particular sexual violence."

I read through most of the news and blog articles trying to find out what is going to get done in the short term, or long term, to alleviate sexual violence against Haitian women in Haiti but honestly, I couldn't find anything except this general statement:

"A new initiative has been launched by UNIFEM, aiming to bring the world's attention to the need to end sexual violence against women in general." (source: pravda.ru)
