AI Summary

This resolution, passed by the House of Representatives, emphasizes that protecting and advancing the rights of women and girls in Haiti is essential for the country's recovery from crisis and its future stability. It condemns the current failure to prioritize women's leadership and their specific needs in Haiti's transition, highlighting systemic discrimination, widespread gender-based violence used as a tool of conflict, and limited access to support services for survivors. The resolution also criticizes Haiti's transitional government and its international partners for excluding women from decision-making roles and failing to implement Haiti's constitutional requirement for at least 30 percent female representation in leadership positions. Furthermore, it calls for urgent measures, including ensuring women's equal participation in government, prioritizing funding for programs to protect women and girls from violence and support survivors, and collecting gender-disaggregated data. The resolution also advocates for a feminist policy approach, consultation with Haitian civil society organizations, and the rebuilding of specific U.S. government offices dedicated to women's issues in peace and security efforts.
