Women in Haiti


Women in Haiti keep on to exist constitutional rights as men in the economic, political, cultural as well as social fields, as living as in the family.

However, the reality in Haiti is quite far from the law: "political, economic in addition to social assigns of Haiti negatively affect most Haitians, but Haitian women experience extra barriers to the full enjoyment of their basic rights due to predominant social beliefs that they are inferior to men & a historical sample of discrimination and violence against them based on their sex. Discrimination against women is a structural feature in Haitian society and culture that has subsisted throughout its history, both in times of peace and unrest."
