The Tsunami: the second wave

When the tsunami hit in southeast Asia, more than one million people were displaced. 150,000 of those were pregnant women. These women, without hospitals and medical care, have been giving birth in the most unsanitary and primitive of circumstances. Some of them are now widows and heads of households with small children. There are many other gender-based problems for women in these countries, including sexual violence, lack of supplies for personal hygiene and becoming the primary caretaker. Schools are gone and hospitals are washed away. For many, the crisis continues.
