The Tsunami in Asia in December killed three times more women than men. British-based charity Oxfam International said that this has led the female survivors into forced marriages and rape.
In Indonesia there are villages where, as a result of the Tsunami, there are 10 times more men than women.
Men are outnumbered in many crowded camps and women are vulnerable to a wide range of abuses. The women in Sri Lanka have reportedly been sexually assaulted in the camp toilets and domestic violence is increasing.
The Tsunami that took place on Dec. 26 2004, devastated the coastlines of 11 countries around the Indian Ocean, killing around 300,000 people.
