Le temps où les femmes haïtiennes fuyaient leur identité en essayant s'approprier un corps blanc, est révolu. Aujourd'hui, elles sont de plus en plus nombreuses à porter des cheveux crépus et adopter des looks africains longtemps méprisés.

This document features the Commission Nationale de Vérité et de Justice, created between September 1991 and October 1994. For a time, this document was quite rare and had seemingly been hidden away from the moment of its release. The commission exposes the systemic violence faced by the Haitian population and the secrets kept by certain corrupt politicians. This commission provides an added historical context to Haitian politics and reveals the global efforts to suppress the country in its goals to seek justice for the decades of violence and political instability. (Summary by Mouka)

Haiti, long noted for poverty and repression, has a powerful and too-often-overlooked history of resistance. Women in Haiti have played a large role in changing the balance of political and social power, even as they have endured rampant and devastating state-sponsored violence, including torture, rape, abuse, illegal arrest, disappearance, and assassination. Beverly Bell, an activist and an expert on Haitian social movements, brings together thirty-eight oral histories from a diverse group of Haitian women.

Studies on Haitian Vodou have documented its marginalization. In fact, they have tracked down the roots of its erasure - due in parts to the positioning of Haiti within an unleveled diffusion of globalized power, the choices of the Haitian state for declaring Roman Catholicism as the official religion of the country, imposed neoliberal policies, as well as poor economic orientations. Because of these external and internal factors, Haitian Vodou devotees have been forced to explore their spirituality outside of Haiti’s public sphere.

A partir de início do século XX, as mulheres haitianas ganham o protagonismo no espaço público na luta pelo reconhecimento dos seus direitos. Essa luta foi difícil, no entanto, o núcleo de mulheres da classe alta e intelectual desenvolveu um vasto movimento. A organização chamada Liga Feminina de Ação Social (LFAS) torna-se o farol dessa luta para mudar as imagens estereotipadas sobre a mulher e pensar refundar a base sócio-legal que as impediu até então de serem protagonistas no espaço público tal como os homens.
