Expanding Access to Health and Rights for Women and Girls in Haiti
FY 2019-20 · 2019-12-10
Summary
This project addresses gaps in sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of women and girls in Haiti. More particularly, this project strengthens and scales up previous work on sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), and gender equality in the eleven clinical sites of the Lower Artibonite and Central Plateau. Project activities include: (1) addressing the most urgent clinical needs of survivors of SGBV; (2) ensuring that those in positions of authority at the health, judicial and community levels are educated and engaged in the reduction, mitigation and prevention of SGBV through surveillance committees, created to support survivors and promoting survivors’ rights; and (3) engaging girls, women, boys and men in an educational and empowering approach towards gender issues that aims to increase the resiliency of women and girls, and change social norms around SGBV.
This project is expected to reach 1.1 million people, while also strengthening linkages with broader women’s health services, community health programs, and Haitian civil society organizations.
This project is implemented through a partnership between Partners in Health Canada, and its Haitian sister organization, Zanmi Lasante.

Description (French)
Ce projet vise à combler les lacunes en matière de santé et de droits sexuels et reproductifs (SDSR) des femmes et des filles en Haiti. Plus particulièrement, ce projet renforce et élargit les travaux antérieurs sur la violence sexuelle et fondée sur le sexe (VSFS) et l'égalité des sexes dans les onze sites cliniques du Bas Artibonite et du Plateau central. Les activités du projet comprennent : 1) aborder les besoins cliniques les plus urgents des survivantes de la VSFS; 2) s’assurer que les personnes en poste d’autorité au niveau de la santé, judiciaire et communautaire sont informées et impliquées dans la réduction, l’atténuation et la prévention de la VSFS au moyen de comités de surveillance, créés pour soutenir les survivantes et promouvoir leurs droits; 3) mobiliser les filles, les femmes, les garçons et les hommes dans le cadre d’une approche éducative et habilitante à l’égard des questions de genre visant à accroître la résilience des femmes et des filles ainsi qu’à changer les normes sociales concernant la VSFS.
Ce projet devrait toucher 1,1 million de personnes, tout en renforçant les liens avec les services de santé pour les femmes, les programmes de santé communautaire et les organisations de la société civile haïtienne.
Ce projet est mis en œuvre grâce à un partenariat entre Partners in Health Canada et son organisation sœur haïtienne, Zanmi Lasante.
Expected Results
