In her remarks for the occasion, Minister Loréus condemned with the utmost rigor the acts of violence against women, recorded in recent weeks and launched a vibrant appeal to all actors, particularly those of justice and of the police to get involved in order to punish, according to the law, all the aggressors. She called on all organizations, associations and feminists not to be intimidated, not to be afraid of threats to denounce violence against women and girls, in order to considerably reduce or even eliminate violence against women. "Violence against women must be banned in whatever form," concluded the Minister. It was also an opportunity for the Minister accompanied by Ms. EKOUE, to honor and reward Haitian women activists in this vast movement aimed at promoting and defending the rights of women by awarding plaques of honor and merit as well as certificates to 13 women for their unconditional involvement in this relentless fight for the elimination of gender violence. In addition, the men who participated in this day have all solemnly sworn to respect the rights of women and not to exercise any form of violence or discrimination against them, a very moving moment for all women. At the end of the ceremony, a performance by the famous Haitian artist, Jean Jean Roosevelt, who sings the emancipation of Haitian women, delighted the audience. IH/ iciHaiti
