Résumé
Résumé :
Historically, the Haitian response to domestic and sexual violence against women has been weak and was informed and exacerbated by political instability and repressive regimes in the country. Moreover, poverty in Haiti has left women more vulnerable to gender violence, and Haiti’s history of gender discrimination has denied women the ability to seek redress for violations. As a result, intimate partner violence and sexual violence are widespread and often go unreported.
