-'''OVERVIEW''' <br>
-Generally speaking, Haiti struggles with having the reputation as the poorest country in Western hemisphere and its turmoils have been compounded in 2010 and 2016 by disastrous earthquakes and hurricanes. This has left the country in need of international aid and a devastating lack of resources. This has obviously had a dramatic effect on sexual, reproductive and women's health care needs throughout the country. Though Port-au-Prince has more civil resources available than many of the countries more rural areas, there is still undoubtedly a lot of improvement to be made in these areas. Some of the issues include the lack of availability of contraception, overpriced feminine hygiene products, lack of proper medical facilities,  unaffordable and outdated hospitals, a high rate of HIV infection and an alarming rate of sexual abuse against women<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_violence_in_Haiti Sexual Violence in Haiti]</ref>. Additionally, abortion is completely illegal and there is little help from government organizations to curb the STI infection rate and lack of education on family planning.
