Outcome HTI_D_4.3

Women´s meaningful participation, leadership and protection in peace and security, including in peace processes, conflict prevention, peacebuilding and peacekeeping,

The dialogue processes have not made progress in Haiti. Some meetings were convened outside the country and few women have been approached or designated to participate in the dialogues, women leaders have been organizing themselves and lobbying to have their voices heard and to take part in key strategic meetings to ensure that women needs and the gender dimension are being taken into consideration. At the Caricom meetings held during 2023, beside some women politcial parties leaders were present, some women leaders of civil society organizations were invited and therefore able to position themselves. Women's meaningful participation, leadership and protection have been reinforced through a peacebuilding process supported by UN Women. Moreover, women leaders members of the Alliance network of 11 women platforms covering the 10 regions of Haiti, met with key actors during 2023 such as CEP, HCT, BINUH and RCO, to discuss about the country context, its impact on women and girls and their needs, along with their participation in dialogue and decision-making levels for better coordination and else. Thanks to this, women in West Department, Artibonite and Plateau Central are better prepared to lead conflict resolution and take political engagement in their respective communities.
