Haïti est dans le monde l’un des pays où la mortalité infantile reste très élevée. Elle a été évaluée à 74 pour 1 000 naissances vivantes par des études récentes. Les objectifs de cette étude étaient de déterminer le taux de mortalité infantile dans la commune de Mirebalais et identifier les principaux facteurs de risque. La méthodologie est fondée sur un recensement initial des femmes enceintes réalisé sur une période de trois semaines dans la commune de Mirebalais.

This study interrogates the trope of the “tropical temptress” that dominated colonial print culture. Encoded in textual accounts reliant on this trope, it posits, is a subtextual fear of Black female agency. To excavate and rehabilitate the voices of women that have been both occluded and co-opted by the colonialist archive, it recognises a need to look beyond.

In farming households in Haiti, women's critical role in maize production is underresearched yet vital to the growth of the sector. This article explores factors that may increase women's bargaining power in negotiated decisions about production practices and income use in male-headed households. We find that women's participation in market activities is positively associated with greater input on decisions related to maize production.

This is a report on the experience of implementing a mental health program in a maternity hospital and three mobile clinics in the city of Port-au-Prince. We started by listening to the difficulties faced by the national teams in their daily routines at the hospital and what they expected of a mental health program. The program was planned in a way to contemplate the perceived needs of the hospital teams as well as those of the target population, pre and post-natal women, within a systemic perspective. Thus the program covered the following aspects:

Background 
Despite evidence that education and poverty act through distinct pathways to influence sexually transmitted infection (STI), few studies have examined the unique, independent associations of these socioeconomic vulnerabilities with sexual risk behaviors and STI among women.

The issue of safeguarding in international development comes under scrutiny in a chapter by Cheryl Overs and Kate Hawkins. They describe the origins of the current push for safeguarding measures and explore (through the lens of sex work) how potential restrictions on women’s sexual autonomy in low- and middle-income countries may affect their ability to access leadership positions.

Although women's representation in Haiti is generally very low, the number of women judges has increased since the demise of authoritarianism and violent conflict in the 1990s. This case study explores why. I find that “gender-neutral” judicial reforms aimed at strengthening the judiciary have done more for women's judicial representation than explicitly gender-targeted policies, which still lack implementation.

Results

En tant que femmes anthropologues dans les années 1930, Zora Neale Hurston et Katherine Dunham ont davantage participé à révéler la réalité des femmes en Haïti que leurs homologues masculins. Elles ont exposé le phénomène de violence basée sur le genre et ont défié les normes anthropologiques par la présence d’une certaine subjectivité dans leurs écrits. Malgré leurs similarités, ces deux femmes sont en compétition pour obtenir des bourses et des recommandations académiques dans un monde dominé par les hommes.
