BIG SHOUT OUT TO HAITIAN MIDWIVES MAKING A DIFFERENCE!
The United Nations General Assembly has designated November 25 as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (Resolution 54/134).[1] The premise of the day is to raise awareness of the fact that women around the world are subject to rape, domestic violence and other forms of violence; furthermore, one of the aims of the day is to highlight that the scale and true nature of the issue is often hidden.
In 2018 FAHM offered its first four-day intensive training/conference to 22 Haitian Midwives living and working in Haiti. We have continued partnership/focus group follow-up sessions which will not only track impact but offer the midwives the much needed continuing support they need in implementing what they have learned.
Midwives offer education, screening, testing, reporting in a culturally sensitive manner.
Josephine Ridore (Haitian Midwife):
“1 year of this, work continues because we are the branches (networks).
Thanks to you for your love to see things changed positively... (I can't stop crying by writing this because it's really sad to have the perception that things go wrong and worse view the situation of instability that knows My darling doudou country 🇭🇹🇭🇹...)
Aware of the consequences of all kinds, we will not remain speechless because we have a lot to do if truly the wish of a world without violence, a Haiti without violence must come to reality one day. 25 November, world day to fight violence against women... yes we are making effort to continue, the game is worth it. Education, information for change of behavior”.
