Description
Haitian women face a number of challenges under the umbrella of gender inequality: gender-based violence, a lower employment rate, the inability to support themselves financially or have ownership over property, and an overall absence of representation. These issues can be traced to way back in the nation’s history, but they have only been exacerbated by instability stemming from the devastating earthquake in August of this year.
