Click on 31 March 2009 for an enlightening interview with Ronique, a grassroots woman activist in Port au Prince. Ronique speaks the increase in kidnappings and other violence since the US backed coup in 2004, rape and sexual assault by the UN forces which have been occupying Haiti since then, and the role of the many NGOs which, working with Haiti’s elite, “take care of their personal business” instead of addressing the needs of women who are struggling to keep families and communities alive in the face of starvation and environmental devastation.
Click on 17 March 2009 for an interview with Mario Joseph, Haiti’s most prominent human rights lawyer, and Brian Concannon director of the Institute for Justice & Democracy in Haiti.
