Since March, when we launched our crisis response we supported HWC partners by getting emergency funding through Donors, foundations and individuals who care about Haitian women.

It was an absolute pleasure to sit and dialogue with the Deputy Executive Director of UN Women, Ms. Nyaradzayi Gumbonzvanda as well as the ONUFEMMES representative from Haiti.

Our time at the 2024 4th International Conference on SIDS focused on sharing the urgent need to support women and youth in Haiti as well as the importance of listening to women and bringing them to the decision making table to address the problems and implement the solutions.

Our founder Carine Jocelyn stated “if you have implemented programs in Haiti for that past 10-20 plus years and it didn’t work, please don’t come back and try again! Listen to the local community.”

100% Fanm is a feminist, political, non-profit organization committed to the fight for respect for women's rights in Haiti and gender justice.
We actively advocate for social, economic and climate justice, equitable education, empowerment and reproductive justice from a black feminist perspective; proud heir of our Ancestors who defined Freedom.

NÈGÈS MAWON is a Haitian feminist organization founded in 2015 mainly fighting against the consequences of the patriarchal organization of society on women.
We aim for the liberation of all forms of violence and oppression suffered by young Haitian girls and women and place our feminist struggle in the ideal of justice and freedom brought by the revolution of 1804. To achieve this political horizon, we work every day to improve the conditions of women and girls in Haiti.
We are involved in the promotion, defense and strengthening of women's rights on a social, cultural, economic and political level. This struggle is part of a perspective of liberation against any system that hinders the full enjoyment of women, everywhere in the world, of their humanity, their rights and their bodies.

PROFAMIL, founded in 1984, is a household name in family planning and maternal and child health in Haiti. As a local non-governmental organization, PROFAMIL provides a high quality of care and behavior change communication strategies tailored to the Haitian context.

"Haiti continues to struggle with insecurity, long-term political instability, economic stagnation,
and sluggish development. The United States partners with Haiti to support a Haitian-led
process to combat gang violence, criminality, and other security concerns, resolve a longstanding political and constitutional crisis, and revive a moribund economy, as well as to
address the root causes of irregular migration from Haiti to the United States. "
