FSC is partnering with The Bureau des Avocats Internationaux (BAI) and the Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti (IJDH) in their effort to drive systemic change in Haiti. Haiti based BAI and its US counterpart, IJDH, help Haitian activists and grassroots groups to enforce their internationally recognized human rights, in Haiti and in the powerful countries where too many decisions about Haitians’ rights are made.
Guided by Haitian voices, BAI and IJDH combine advocacy between Haiti and the international community, and prioritize collaboration and coalition-building to address equity, justice, and rights in Haiti - creating systemic change in and of itself by disrupting traditional power structures that limit the effectiveness of much human rights work.
The partnership is designed to launch a series of webinars featuring conversations between Haitian and non-Haitian advocates about ending interference by the international community that prevents Haitians from transforming the systemic injustice that keeps them poor and vulnerable. The webinars will enhance collaboration among activists, ensure that Haitian grassroots perspectives are integrated into advocacy in powerful countries, and engage a broader community in support of advocacy efforts. Issues addressed in the webinars will include foreign military intervention, gender justice, climate change and the deterioration of Haiti’s justice system.it stand out
