Heard much about post-quake Haiti recently? What about the voices of Haitian women? 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. They met with hundreds of Haitian women and recorded their stories.

 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, which the return of President Aristide?
 
SPEAKERS:  Ayana Labossiere, Judith Mirkinson, Leslie Mullin
