This article discusses the growth and evolution of the women’s movements in Haiti, highlighting its approach to the issue of gender-based violence prior to the end of the Duvalier dictatorship. It explains how this movement located violence in relation to international human rights concerns, to politics in Haiti and to the Haitian human rights movement. It describes how it succeeded in raising public awareness about violence and discrimination against women and its contributions to specific changes in politics and collective attitudes.
Que deviennent toutes ces réflexions faites chaque 8 mars, avec documents d’archives et PowerPoint à l’appui ?
Une année de violence et de victoires mitigées
Les organisations féministes viennent de vivre une année éprouvante, teintée néanmoins de victoires symboliques et prometteuses. Elles abordent le Nouvel An tenaillé par un problème de financement, alors que les violences et féminicides se multiplient.
Dans un contexte de revendications justifiées de la jeunesse, de violences et de conflits armés, de radicalisation des antagonismes sociaux et politiques et de crise migratoire, nous, dirigeantes d’une cinquantaine d’organisations de femmes de tous les départements d’Haïti, avons l’honneur de faire appel à votre patriotisme pour une sortie de crise porteuse de solutions durables.

Neste artigo discutimos as condicionantes que contribuíram para a ocorrência de casos de abuso e exploração sexual feminina praticada por peacekeepers durante a Missão de Estabilização das Nações Unidas no Haiti (MINUSTAH). No trabalho, buscamos compreender a conjuntura a partir de uma perspectiva feminista, considerando a influência da masculinidade militarizada e das condições socioeconômicas do país para a perpetuação da violência contra meninas e mulheres durante o período de vigência da missão.
Tout lang sou latè reflete sa k ap pase nan yon kilti, se pou sa yo defini lang kòm yon eleman kiltirèl. Kòm yon lang se yon pwodiksyon sosyal ki dinamik, menm jan li pran nesans, li transfòme nan entèraksyon k ap fèt nan mitan moun anndan yon sosyete epi li ka disparèt tou. Tousa montre kouman yon lang se yon sistèm k ap bouje, ki ka chanje oswa k ap evolye nan relasyon k ap devlope ant moun ak moun, ant gwoup sosyal ak gwoup sosyal.
The purpose of this study was to explore the factors that promoted resilience in Haitian women earthquake survivors. The literature on mental health among Haitians is sparse. Furthermore, the concept of resilience is not easily translated across cultures. In the aftermath of the devastating 2010 Haiti earthquake, relocated victims struggled to adjust. This study looks at what factors helped women adjust to their new environment and cope with the traumas and losses suffered from the earthquake. A qualitative design was used to discover and describe resilience.
Ten years ago, on January 12, at 16:53 in the afternoon, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti. The country was left in shambles. So was the women’s movement. Three of its most prominent leaders lost their lives in the earthquake, and the implementation of gender policies came to a halt. This CMI Brief explores the challenges facing the women’s cause in Haiti after the earthquake and provides recommendations for how to get it back on track.
