Saturday, as part of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and Girls, President Jovenel Moïse reiterated his will and that of his administration to fight against discrimination of all kinds and inequalities between the sexes. The Head of State took the opportunity to advocate for a constant effort to empower women and girls legally and socially, to significantly reduce the gender discrimination that undermines our society "On the occasion of this International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, I want to reiterate the total determination of my administration to sensitize the population to join this movement in a broad mobilization and to reject the silence. Let us restore to the fight against violence against women the political and social impulse that it demands. We all have a role to play in changing the attitudes and beliefs that tolerate violence against women."
He announced the establishment by his administration of mechanisms to enable the inclusion of women in economic and political activities to build a country that promotes gender equity and scrupulous respect for the fundamental rights of women and girls, who represent more than half of the Haitian population.
