On March 14, Tropical Cyclone Idai hit Mozambique leaving tens of thousands of people displaced. Over 1.85 million people, most of them women and children, are urgently in need of assistance.
The sexual exploitation of women struggling to feed their families after Cyclone Idai is revolting and cruel.
Victims, residents, and aid workers have told Human Rights Watch that local community leaders demanded money from people affected by the cyclone in exchange for including their names on the aid distribution list. In some cases, women without money were instead coerced into engaging in sex with local leaders in exchange for a bag of rice.
