WITH UN SUPPORT, HAITIAN WOMEN MOBILIZE AS
ELECTION CANDIDATES
July 20, 2005 - (UN News Service) Following
up on a United Nations seminar, a group of Haitian women have
launched a support network for women candidates in the upcoming
elections in the impoverished Caribbean country.
"Haitian women in politics needed
reinforcement of their capacities to be able to engage in the electoral
process with more self-confidence, notably as candidates,"
said Nadine Puechguirbal, of the UN Stabilization Mission in Haiti
(MINUSTAH) Men/Women Parity Bureau, which organized the seminar
on the issue earlier this month.
Some 40 women yesterday officially
launched the RFCG, the French acronym for Network of Women Candidates
to Win. The elections, scheduled for October, are among the many
sectors in which <"http://www.un.org/Depts/dpko/missions/minustah/
>MINUSTAH is seeking to help Haiti since the Security Council
set it up more than a year ago after unrest forced President Jean-Bertrand
Aristide to leave the country.
"MINUSTAH has enabled women to
overcome obstacles in connection with the election campaign,"
Magdala Michel, one of the participants, said.
