I stumbled upon the courtyard of a small house where a group of women and their children were clustered. The place was a kind of shelter for the families who were protecting each other as a group after being forced to flee their homes. The owner of the house let them stay there so they wouldn’t have to sleep on the street with their children.

That day is one of the best examples I have in my career where I felt that being a woman opened a door for me to tell these vulnerable stories and build a connection with these women that allowed me to capture the very intimate consequences of Haiti’s crisis. The empathy, the natural connection with them that I felt, I think, was reflected in my images.

Between clicks of my camera, I felt the satisfaction of being able to document something I felt was important mixed with a great helplessness — especially as a woman — watching violence against women be such a recurrent theme.
