The quantitative Gender Survey described in this document was part of a larger evaluation and exploration of gender in Leogane and Carrefour, two communes (counties) near to Port-au- Prince that were among those most heavily impacted by the January 12th 2010 earthquake. Following the catastrophe CARE initiated emergency and supportive relief efforts in the communes, including sanitation, health and cash for work programs.

Sexual exploitation and abuse by aid workers and peacekeepers is happening in the aid sector and it has been happening for a long time. Sexual violence, exploitation and abuse against women and girls is endemic in many developing countries, especially where there is conflict and forced displacement, as we have found in previous work. Forms of systematic criminal sexual exploitation, for example in the form of human trafficking into prostitution, is also a common feature of such environments.

During the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), reports of sexual abuse and exploitation and children fathered by peacekeepers were brought forward to the UN. In 2017, a cross-sectional mixed-methods survey was administered by Haitian research assistants using SenseMaker® (Cognitive Edge, Singapore), a rapid data collection tool that allows participants to share a narrative on a topic of interest.

Women and girls are the backbone of Haitian society and local economy. Nearly half of Haitian households are women-led. Women are also pillars of economic life, as they form the majority of street vendors and support agricultural supply chains. However, women and girls continue to be affected by severe inequality, and genderbased violence (GBV).

Ce rapport aborde la question de l’égalité des genres dans le domaine foncier, plus spécifiquement l’accès, la sécurisation et le contrôle des biens fonciers. Si les textes juridiques ne sont pas nécessairement discriminatoires, les pratiques traditionnelles et sociales, elles, font en sorte que les femmes ne jouissent pas pleinement de leurs droits. Elles ont, en effet, moins accès aux terres et aux sources de financement puisqu’elles sont, en général, moins éduquées.

Après avoir situé les motivations, les objectifs et les aspects méthodologiques et techniques entourant la production de ce travail, le rapport situe en première partie ce qu’est l’accès à la justice et à la sécurité au niveau théorique en fournissant une description des deux secteurs. Il poursuit en précisant qu’en Haïti, en vertu des textes fondamentaux, il n’y a plus, en principe, de politique formelle à caractère manifestement discriminatoire à l’égard des femmes.

Thirsting for sensational stories about hunger, suffering, and violence, the world’s most prestigious news agencies—the Associated Press (AP), Agence France-Presse (AFP), Reuters, CNN, CBS, The Guardian—have for decades uncritically repeated anything NGOs, UN agencies, or pseudo-researchers claim about Haiti. No vetting of data. No critical review.

The migration of Haitian women to the Dominican Republic is part of the so-called “feminization of migrations” caused by changes in labour markets as well as the precarious situation of women and their families in the neighbouring country of origin. The sequel to the earthquake in Haiti on January 12, 2010 has aggravated gender violence, in the makeshift camps in which hundreds of thousands of displaced persons are still living a year later, according to the reporting of human rights organizations, international organizations, women’s organizations and ordinary citizens.

Les violences faites aux femmes sont toujours omniprésentes en Haïti et connaissent, ces dernières années, une hausse significative et inquiétante. Ce texte vise à dénoncer l’impunité des auteurs de ces violences, mais aussi les difficultés d’accès à la justice pour les victimes : coûts élevés, système de justice ne fonctionnant qu’en français alors que la plupart des victimes sont créolophones, dysfonctionnement de ce système et indépendance limitée du tribunal.
