This Article examines women's and girls' struggles in the aftermath of the Haitian earthquake. In particular, it focuses on the grievous conditions in the displacement camps that foster gender-based violence and abuse, often perpetrated by members of armed groups or prison escapees. Indeed, the lack of lighting, private sanitary facilities, secure shelters, and police patrols in the encampment areas endanger women's and girls' safety.
This paper chronicles the advocacy approach behind the broader human rights “Campaign to end the epidemic of rape in Haiti”. This campaign has succeeded in opening political and policymaking spaces previously closed to Haitian grassroots women activists and collectives and generated a landmark legal decision. The advances reflect a model in which the expertise of an international women’s human rights organization is mobilized in the service of a community-based women’s group.
Haiti’s history shows that women have remained the target of oppression irrespective of changes in political dispensation in the country. Sustainable peace and development can only be ensured through the full participation of women and by tackling gender inequality. This report details the gender inequality present in Haiti and provides steps and recommendations on possible reforms and actions to be adopted by the government as well as non-governmental organisations.

Pandan dezyèm vizit li nan emisyon Entre Nous pou pale sou liv li a, « Lutte des femmes et luttes sociales en Haïti » avèk J.J. Dominique, Myrtha Gilbert pale kesyon vyolans sou fanm ann Ayiti ak sou orijin vyolans nan sosyete ayisyen an, soti nan moman lè kolon blan yo mete pye yo sou Kiskeya. Gilbert ak Dominique pale sou yon kontradiksyon aparan: se fanm ki poto mitan sosyete ak ekonomi ayisyen, men se yo menm k ap sibi vyolans. Vyolans sou fanm, ak vyolans sou timoun tou, vin banalize nan sosyete ayisyen an.

Militan dwa fanm Magalie Marcelin pale, 1997-11-24 (00:02:19) Dezyèm jounen Tribinal Entènasyonal Kont Vyolans sou Fanm Ayisyèn. Plizyè fanm temwaye sou vyolans domestik ak vyolans seksyèl (kadejak) yo te sibi, 1997-11-25 (00:05:34) Twazyèm jounen Tribinal Entènasyonal Kont Vyolans sou Fanm Ayisyèn. Direktè Ministè Jistis la, Max Elibert, pale.

Olga Benoît, ki se youn nan responsab SOFA, ak Myrtha Gilbert pale sou vyolans sou fanm, ki gen ladan li vyolans konjigal ak kadejak, ak dezimanizasyon fanm tou. Anpil fanm ki viktim ak fanmi yo pa menm eseye jwenn jistis, paske yo konprann yo p ap janm jwenn jistis. Sistèm restavèk la se yon egzanp vyolans sou jèn fi ki vilnerab, ki soti nan sektè defavorize sosyete a. Menm jan, vyolans sou fanm makonnen avèk lòt fenomèn sosyal, pa egzanp inegalite sosyoekonomik ak konplèks moun konn genyen youn sou lòt -- se sa k kreye vyolans sou anplwaye domestik.
Marie-Frantz Joachim, Florence Norcéus, ak Jocelyne Palanquet, manm kòdinasyon nasyonal Mach Mondyal Fanm 2000 pale sou pwogram yo genyen pou mach la, sou dwa fanm ak sou vyolans sou fanm ann Ayiti. Gen plizyè òganizasyon fanm soti tout kwen peyi a k ap patisipe nan kòdinasyon an, tankou Fanm Deside ki soti nan Sidès ak AFASDA ki soti nan Nò. Lalwa ayisyen pa fè ase pou pwoteje dwa fanm. Florence Norcéus, ki travay nan Kay Fanm, eksplike chak òganizasyon travay nan pwòp domenn pa li (lalwa, sante, elatriye) men yo konn mete tèt ansanm tou.
