Outcome HTI_D_1.2

UNSDCF Outcome 4 The population, particularly vulnerable and marginalized groups, has better access to equitable, inclusive and quality basic social services, that place emphasis on the respect for human rights, gender equality, and the inclusion of the persons with disabilities to contribute to strengthening the social contract.

Women in Haiti, particularly those who are vulnerable and/or from marginalized backgrounds, have benefited from protection through projects implemented by UN Women partners. These women have been sensitized to the prevention of gender-based violence (GBV) and, in cases where they were victims of violence, have received legal, medical, and psychological support. In 2024, UN Women directly reached 280883 direct beneficiaries and 603780 indirect beneficiaries through awareness and direct services. Direct beneficiaries include: Filles (0-17 ans) Jeunes Femmes (18-29 ans) Femmes (18 ans+) Garçons (0-17) Jeunes hommes (18-29) Hommes (18+) LGBTQ 40521 42316 113371 17196 21390 42274 3815 The mental health project funded by the Peace Building Fund (PBF) , along with 12 other protection-focused projects financed by the Women’s Peace and Humanitarian Fund (WPHF) , have facilitated women's access to basic social services. These initiatives focus on respecting human rights, promoting gender equality, and including persons with disabilities. Key Strategies were used to achieve results: Training Key Sectors : Capacity-building sessions were conducted for critical actors such as the Haitian National Police (PNH), journalists, judges, and psychological/mental health service providers. These trainings focused on GBV prevention and survivor care. Development of GBV Reporting Tools : Tools for collecting and documenting GBV complaints were developed and operationalized. Implementation of Online Support Tools : The creation of the mobile application ALO-TOYA , adapted to the crisis context limiting movement, has facilitated online support and monitoring for women in distress. Establishment of Safe Spaces : Safe spaces have been made available for women survivors of GBV to access protection and support. Economic Empowerment for Resilience : Women’s economic empowerment was reinforced to reduce their vulnerability to GBV. This included initiatives aimed at promoting autonomy and sustainable livelihoods. Support for Displaced Women : Emergency kits and other forms of assistance were provided to displaced women to address their immediate needs. This integrated approach ensures that women not only receive critical protection services but are also empowered to break cycles of vulnerability and dependency. The combination of targeted awareness campaigns, practical tools, and survivor-centered services reflects UN Women’s commitment to advancing gender equality and safeguarding women’s rights in Haiti.
