Press release
October 5, 2018
“The organization Word And Action Haiti renew its commitment to prevent and reduce sexual abuse, sexual exploitation and any type of abuse of child abuse throughout Haiti. And for this reason strongly condemns the act of violence against Nice Simon, the Mayor of Tabarre.
Violence against girls and women is one of our major concerns, and we call on the authorities concerned to take responsibility and ensure the protection of all citizens across the country.
By acting impartially and in good faith, any act of violence, rape, verbal abuse should be punished in accordance with the law of the land. At least 75% of Haitian women are victims of this kind of abuse every year. As a result, schools and all other private and public institutions in the country should organize at least quarterly training related to violence against women and children. Word And Action Haiti is ready to help if asked.
We give our unconditional support to Nice Simon while asking the other victims to break their silence in the face of any injustice, both physical and psychological.”
