Kongrè 75

Haiti is at a critical juncture, facing immense socio-political and economic challenges. At a time when women continue to be at the forefront of grassroots activism and community rebuilding, recognizing the history of their advocacy is more important than ever. The First Congress of Women in Haiti was a turning point that paved the way for Haitian women’s right to vote, secured through Article 8 of the Haitian Constitution in 1950.

This anniversary will:

• Inspire Future Generations: Highlight the achievements of past leaders and motivate young women to take an active role in shaping Haiti’s future.

• Strengthen Women’s Advocacy Networks: Foster collaboration among Haitian women and their allies to address pressing national and global challenges.

• Elevate the Role of Women in Nation-Building: Reinforce the need for women’s leadership in governance, economic development, and peacebuilding.
