On Saturday, many political authorities, personalities, relatives, colleagues and friends gathered at the St James Catholic Church in North Miami for the funeral of Claire François Duvignaud (born August 4, 1970 in Marchand Dessalines), an emeritus activist who devoted a large part of his life to the emancipation of Haitian women in Haiti.

Many were those who paid tribute to her, all of whom spoke of the natural benevolence of this great patriot and socio-political activist, who placed at the service of others to promote a socially inclusive and inclusive society.

In his eulogy of sadness and emotion, ONA's Director General, Mr. Chesnel Pierre did not fail to greet and honor the memory of his friend and collaborator at ONA Fanm who was his Deputy Director, declaring in front of the smiling image of the deceased, exposed near the coffin "Claire had the solidity of the oak and the flexibility of the reed... So, the sorrow of having lost her will not forget the happiness of having known her. Concluding "Far from our eyes, but always in our hearts. We love you forever, Claire."

The death of Claire François Duvignaud also deeply affects the members of "Fanm Yo La" who offer their condolences to her family, including her two sons, Jamar and Julian Duvignaud, and her spouse Jacques Duvignaud. Natacha Clergé, General Coordinator of "Fanm Yo La" said "We keep of Claire Duvignaud the memory of a woman who fought against the exclusion of women from the sphere of power and who has committed herself to the political life of his country despite, in particular, structural obstacles. We keep of her the memory of a frank, jovial, caring and supportive of friends and comrades of struggle."
