The Convention was ratified in 1981 and, pursuant to article 18 of that same Convention, the Government of Haiti should have submitted an initial implementation report one year after ratification and another every four years thereafter. To compensate for failure to produce those reports, starting in April 2006 the Ministry for the Status of Women and Women’s Rights stepped up its activities and embarked on the process of preparing the report. That report is of the utmost importance to the Haitian State. It enables it to evaluate and systematize progress made with respect to women’s rights and to establish priorities for the future.

  • Mathilde Pierre Weak Judicial Systems And
    Mathilde Pierre Weak Judicial Systems and Systematic Sexual Violence against Women and Girls: The Socially Constructed Vulnerability of Female Bodies in Haiti This thesis has been submitted on this day of April 16, 2018 in partial fulfillment of the degree requirements for the NYU Global Liberal Studies Bachelor of Arts degree. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank my thesis advisor, Professor Emily Bauman, who has guided me through every step in the year-long process of writing my thesis. The time and energy she invested in thoroughly reading and commenting on my work, in recommending other avenues of further research, and in pushing me to deepen my analysis were truly invaluable. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to Professor Joyce Apsel who, although abroad in Florence, Italy, set aside time to speak with me over Skype, to comment on my rough draft, and to advise me on the approach of my argument in my thesis. I would additionally like to thank all of the individuals who set aside considerable time to meet with me for interviews in Port-au-Prince, most notably Attorney Claudy Gassant, Attorney Rosy Auguste, Attorney Marie Alice Belisaire, Attorney Giovanna Menard, Judge Jean Wilner Morin, Carol Pierre-Paul Jacob, Marie Yolaine Gilles, and Officer Guerson Joseph. Finally I extend a heartfelt thank you to my parents, Mathias and Gaëlle Pierre, who greatly assisted in connecting me with the individuals I interviewed and whose constant support and encouragement helped me to push through in the completion of my thesis. 1 ABSTRACT Widespread sexual violence against women and girls in Haiti is a phenomenon that largely persists due to a failure to prosecute male perpetrators and enforce the domestic and international laws that exist to criminalize rape.

Some died of injuries related to these crimes. Others have committed suicide, unable to bear injustice and further suffering. May they rest in peace. May we continue to seek justice in their names. Let their memory serve as a reminder of the sacredness of every human life and the moral necessity to act with all our means to protect it. It is also dedicated to the survivors who have had the courage to step out of the shadows of shock, pain, suffering, indignity, and silence and into recovery and public advocacy. Their voices guide a growing grassroots movement. We also acknowledge and thank the many individuals and groups in and outside Haiti – community activists, political leaders, health providers, police officers, lawyers, judges, witnesses, caretakers and family members, human rights and gender activists, journalists and educators – who carry the torch.

The tiny nation (10,714 square miles) situated on the island of Hispaniola, still recovering from the devastatingHaitian officials, 2010 in earthquake, line with most which country claimed leaders the lives around of close the world,to two announcedhundred thousand a series people,of health, seemed hygiene prepared and safety to take precautions on the challenges following of COVID-19. Businesses and schools immediately closed, face masks and hand sanitizers were distributed by the thousands. But the effects of emergency injunctions that were not geared towards capacity-building, but rather prevention of rapid infectious disease transmission, could prove debilitating for the impoverished nation over the long-term. Primary and secondary school enrollment rates in Haiti are at an all-time low, and projections for the Haitian economy are dismal (-3.5% GDP growth 2020f) (World Bank 2020: 27). As a retrospective study, this paper conducts a critical quantitative and qualitative analysis of humanitarian aid, gender-based violence, and urbanism in Haiti, revealing that gender-responsive planning has a greater role to play in state-led disaster management plans and procedures for achieving long-term equity and sustainable economic growth.
