RAPE IN HAITI: JUSTICE AT A CROSSROAD (7'39")
View this story

Somalia is a country wracked by almost two decades of civil war. Many of its people have fled to neighboring countries. They may make it across the borders but escaping the violence that has taken over their lives is a lot tougher

Many parents will do anything they can to give their children a better future.  But sometimes they and their kids have to make terrible sacrifices for their dreams. In Moldova, in Eastern Europe, so many parents have left to find work elsewhere that a generation of children are “left-behind”…growing up virtually alone.


How do you combat a crime so widespread, so accepted, that few perpetrators are ever punished? The crime is rape, and the country -- Haiti. But now, through the efforts of some courageous Haitian women, justice is beginning to be served.

ABOUT THE SERIES
UNTV's series of 12 x 26' news-magazine programmes puts a spotlight on the world's most underreported stories. Each episode features 2-3 character-driven, human interest stories that reflect some of the most important issues affecting the world, and our lives today. Our cameras offer unique and often unparalleled access to people and places and stays to bring you the stories as they unfold over time, long after other news outlets leave. From the child labour situation in Tanzania to the woman's struggle in Afghanistan, from the poverty streets in Somalia to the frontline of the guerilla war in Colombia, this series brings home the stories viewers care about, but rarely see. Presented as a fully-packaged programme, and also available by feature segment (approximately 8' each), 21st Century incorporates narrative storytelling with balanced, accurate reporting and is adaptable to local languages. Currently fifty international broadcasters air the magazine monthly, including BBC World and RTVE.
