Within the framework of its mandate and taking into account its exit strategy aimed at a gradual transfer of responsibilities to the Haitian Government and development actors, the United Nations Mission for the Support of Justice in Haiti (Minujusth) through its human rights section through its Community Violence Reduction (CVR) projects, supported the project "No pretext no limit" presented by the organization "Union of Women with Reduced Mobility of Haiti" (UFMORH) and launched at the end of October.

This project, which will be implemented in Cap-Haitien and Port-au-Prince over a period of 6 months, aims to promote respect for human rights and the inclusion of people with reduced mobility.

It aims specifically at strengthening the capacity of the UFMORH regional office in Cap-Haïtien, enabling it to play its full role for the benefit of women and men with disabilities in the North department. It will also allow a better perception of the population in relation to women and men with disabilities, through awareness-raising and training.

The project will reach 40 direct beneficiaries including 10 men and 30 women. To achieve this goal, awareness-raising meetings will be held for women, parents of persons with disabilities, representatives of human rights organizations and organizations of women with and without disabilities. Media awareness and promotion campaigns for the inclusion of people with disabilities will also be carried out as well as a roundtable discussion on the issue of exclusion of women and women's groups in the feminist movement.
