Abstract

Haiti is facing an unprecedented crisis that affects all institutions and all actors in social life. This article aims to address the consequences of this situation on the struggle of women and the feminist movement in Haiti. The impact of this unique circumstance on women's rights is illustrated through three key sub-themes of the fight for equality in Haiti: the political aspect, the fight against violence against women and the institutionalization of gender. These different themes had known a certain timid but tangible progress. In terms of women's political participation, the 30% quota set out in the Constitution and in the electoral decree during the last elections had enabled leaders to question the need for more women and even the emergence of women in structures traditionally controlled by men. A mechanism for the holistic management of violence files had been put in place and gender was involved in the reflection on public policies, although partially implemented. In the context of this article, apart from the data collected from the executives of the ministry in charge of gender equality, we have used the content analysis of articles and reports to clearly understand the impact of the context on the achievements of the feminist movement.
