Haiti - FLASH : A major international event for Haitian women 11/10/2024 10:09:23
Igniting Our Power 2024 represents a key moment to build solidarity and inspire concrete actions for the advancement of Haitian women and the diaspora. In keeping with its mission to amplify Haitian voices globally, HAFFD will host influential women leaders from Haiti to engage in discussions on the future of the country in front of approximately 800 participants. The dialogue will begin on Saturday with a panel discussion titled At the Crossroads : Engaging with Haiti, moderated by Ms. Monique Clesca, a seasoned leader with over 25 years of experience developing programs for youth and women globally. She will be joined by: - Velina Elysee Charlier: Feminist activist and founding member of "Nou Pap Domi", dedicated to combating corruption and promoting accountability. - Daniele Magloire: Leader of "Kay Fanm", and vice-president of the Board of Directors of the "Fondasyon Konesans ak Libete (FOKAL)." - Pascale Oriol : CEO ofVox Evolution, focused on building sustainable communities in Haiti. "I am dedicated to ensuring Haiti provides essential services to its 11.5 million citizens, over half of whom are women, " says Ms. Clesca. Given the challenges facing the Haitian Diaspora and Haiti's socio-economic and political turmoil, this dialogue is timely. "Restoring security in Haiti is paramount. Living in fear is paralyzing, " states Ms. Charlier. Ms. Clesca adds, "We must uplift one another, both in big ways and small." On Sunday, an advocacy workshop will focus on two critical movements: changing the narrative about Haiti and advocating for human rights amid the ongoing crisis. Haiti is often depicted in the media as a country plagued by poverty and violence ‘poorest country in the Western Hemisphere’, and controlled by violent gangs. Recently, Haitians have faced additional scrutiny due to a racist smear campaign spreading baseless claims about Haitian immigrants across media platforms. This workshop aims to highlight the authentic stories of the women at the Haitian Ladies Network weekend, empowering us to reclaim our narrative. Participants will explore how media portrayals and political discourse impact community mobilization and discuss strengthening connections between Haitians in Haiti and the Diaspora. By centering women’s true stories, we can reshape global narratives about Haitians. "We are thrilled to be part of this significant event that aligns with our mission of amplifying Haitian voices," said Ariel Dominique, Executive Director ofHAFFD. "This weekend will inspire actionable steps to strengthen our communities and make Haiti safe again for its people. " About HAFFD : The Haitian American Foundation for Democracy engages the Haitian American Diaspora and promotes policies that foster democracy, human rights, economic development, and inclusion. The Haitian-American Foundation for Democracy's Board of Directors is composed of a stellar group of renowned men and women, all leaders who have worked in the community for over 40 years.
