2 Mario Joseph, 47, is a lawyer specialising in human rights cases. He has a reputation for defending the dispossessed and the vulnerable. c “The fight to promote the rule of law in Haiti is a good fight. We will continue to do that.” 1 Francoise Terminus, 73, now lives with her son and grandchildren in the Tapis Rouge camp. She used to sell a wide range of fruit and vegetables 4 Max Beauvoir, 76, is the supreme leader of Haitian Voodo, a religion practised by around half Haiti’s population. He led the opposition to mass anonymous burials of earthquake victims. 3 Evelyne Pierre, 23, was a beautician and is now a sex worker. She has to provide for herself and her young son after his father was killed in the earthquake. 6 Rose Ornilia Adne, 55, worked in a port as a wholesaler of chickens and charcoal. She now works with elderly people in the camp where she lives. 5 Marie-Carmelle Sainton, 38, makes a living selling school text books. She doesn't earn enough to send her own children to school. d “The earthquake never goes away. It's still shaking people." f “I provide for myself. Nobody provides for me… I can’t find work in this country. You finish school but you can’t find work. You have a trade but you can’t find work.” a “I think it was undignified, and I screamed… I said you cannot do that because we have beliefs. And in our beliefs, the body is sacred.” b “I’d like the country to change. I'd like them to create colleges where poor children can go. Personally, I can't stand to think of my children doing what I do.” e “We used to have coffee but our coffee is destroyed. We used to have Creole pigs. All this shows that the country has gone backwards. We used to have other opportunities. We would have a chance to eat if they were rebuilt.”
