Heard much about post-quake Haiti recently? What about the voices of
Haitian
women?</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=4 color="#000080">
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=4>A women’s delegation from SF
WILPF and Haiti Action Committee recently visited Haiti. Their purpose
was to hear directly from Haitian women about the impact of the Jan. 12
earthquake on their lives and to understand how they are
responding.</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=4 color="#000080">
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=4>They met with hundreds of
Haitian women and recorded their stories. Through slideshow and
eyewitness reports, the delegation will report back on their
findings.<br><br>
Learn about the remarkable women’s organizations at the grassroots level
that are mobilizing to rebuild Haiti. What is life like for Haitian
women, many living in refugee camps, seven months after the quake? How do
women evaluate the international relief effort? What are their key
demands, including the widespread call for the return of PSresident
Aristide?<br>
