Au pays de Makandal, Boukman, Toussaint Louverture, l'empereur Dessalines, le roi Christophe, l'empereur Soulouque, auxquels on ajoutera un siècle de généraux présidents ainsi que les régimes à tendance totalitaire du docteur François Duvalier et du père Jean-Bertrand Aristide, à la fin du deuxième millénaire, sans parler des zenglens, tonton lnacoutes et chimères, il semble évident que la question du pouvoir dictatorial se perpétue avec une constance navrante et un bilan général désastreux.

The contribution of gender identity, neighborhood characteristics, contextual norms, and socio-political factors to the biopsychosocial health of non-heteronormative persons in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is understudied. Using syndemic theory, we conducted two focus groups (FGs) of 16 non-heteronormative individuals in Haiti's urban Cité Soleil neighborhood. Eight individuals participated in each FG. ATLAS.ti facilitated thematic content analysis of transcripts.

Les proverbes et les traditions font parties intégrantes de la culture haïtienne. Ils servent de mode de transmission culturelle et de réponses aux aléas de la vie. Toutefois, au sein de ses fondements culturels se trouvent des éléments qui viennent amplifier la discrimination basée sur le genre déjà présente dans la vie courante. L’utilisation des proverbes vient ainsi dans de nombreux cas accentuer la domination masculine dans la société.

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.
