Further, Ms. Salvador stressed that elections for the reestablishment of democratic institutions will not be possible without security conditions being restored in the country.

According to Minister Loréus, eliminating obstacles and creating opportunities for Haitian women requires a coordinated effort on the part of the State, civil society and the international community.

Creation of a law on civil society; need for women to get involved in politics and participate massively in the next elections; carrying out an awareness campaign on citizenship education; need for political parties and civil society organizations to collaborate and cooperate; harmonization of actions at the level of women's organizations with a view to strengthening their capacity and constituting an essential force in the country's politics, promotion of education and training for women, are, among others, some of these recommendations.
