N2  - A few months ago, 19-year-old Islande (name changed for confidentiality) got a call that her son was sick and that she needed to pick him up from school immediately. As a garment factory worker in Port-au-Prince, she earned only a few dollars a day. She didn't have enough money for a taxi, so she walked along the gang-ridden streets of the capital. Islande met a man on the street who told her a voodoo priest could help her son. In Haiti, where more than half of the population are believed to practice voodoo, she agreed. But it was a scam. She was kidnapped and taken to an abandoned building where she was raped by a gang member and the man she met on the street, as the so-called voodoo priest watched.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
