1/ Latest #IJDHUpdate on #HumanRights in #Haiti: credible allegations of corruption & complicity w/ armed groups persist at the all levels of gov’t, alongside patterns of extrajudicial killings & widespread civilian harms by police & other gov’t actors. https://t.co/907o5nNB5s

[IJDH @ijdh]

6/ These abuses are in part enabled by international interference into the transitional process, which has allowed the same set of corrupt actors to remain in power over & over again, w/out effective controls against corruption & abuse.

We are asking the government to respect women. Make it happen! #CSW70 #forAllWomenAndGirls #WomenEmpowerment #StandUp4HumanRights

[IJDH @ijdh]

#CSW70 in #Haiti: “We are asking that #women must participate in elections. It must start now, so they can be elected and defend their rights.”

Everyone is called to action—orgs, political parties, journalists. “When women win, all of Haiti wins.”

[IJDH @ijdh]

.@abigailderolia1 of @Neges_Mawon emphasizes the importance of #GenderEquality training. “We don’t just need representation. We need participation.” It’s not just about getting women into leadership; women need to be involved in decision making. #Haiti #GenderJustice #CSW70

[IJDH @ijdh]

Speakers at #CSW70: We will continue to fight for all women! Women carry the future of Haiti on their backs. Women’s leadership is the only future for Haiti. #StandUp4HumanRights #GenderJustice

[IJDH @ijdh]

#Women nurture and support life and drive #Haiti's economy. Women continue to help build survivor strategies across Haiti's 580 communal sections and will continue to fight, says @LaNancyVilce. #CSW70

[IJDH @ijdh]

BAI’s @MLefruy16665: Women are first to help organize after disaster and do what is important to improve family life. Women are champions of managing minimal resources they have. Women solve problems. Why are women not at the table for decision-making? #CSW70 #forAllWomenAndGirls

[IJDH @ijdh]

Moderator Ruth Magdala Marcelin of Haitian Women’s Collective: Among all the challenges, there is a strong reality: transition in #Haiti is not possible without women and girls #CSW70 #forAllWomenAndGirls
