A human rights group in Haiti says the number of kidnappings in the country have tripled compared to the same time period last year. As the political and economic situation worsens, police are outgunned and gangs control much of the country. And, a new book explores how patriarchy became common around the world. Also, the United Nations said this week that it has been informed by the Taliban that its female employees can no longer work in the country. The UN demanded the order be rescinded, saying that women are essential to providing services in Afghanistan. Plus, Guatemala's "flower carpets" decorate Holy Week.
