Description and results

Description

The project aims to engage civil society as a key stakeholder for strengthening justice in Haiti so that it can play its role as a democratic counterweight, guardian of the rule of law, and pillar of inclusive and responsible governance. To achieve that goal, the project proposes actions at three levels: (1) support the Office de la Protection du Citoyen so that it can more effectively fulfil its role of promoting and protecting human rights, including women and minors; (2) build the capacities of civil society human rights organizations and lawyers representing victims of human rights violations; and (3) increase citizen participation through improved public awareness, including women and youth, of human rights, anti-impunity and anti-corruption issues.

Expected results

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) improved access to justice for vulnerable persons, especially women, minors and prisoners; (2) increased legal and judicial services for civil society organizations (CSO) and justice actors to advance anti-impunity and anti-corruption cases; and (3) increased participation of SCOs and justice actors in dialogue with the government and international bodies on issues relating to the rights of vulnerable persons.

Results achieved

Results achieved as of March 2022 include: (1) created a legal service specializing in strategic human rights litigation; (2) released more than 140 people; (3) provided legal assistance and legal services to 5,600 people in vulnerable situations, 26% of whom were women; (4) provided social and professional reintegration services to more than 500 people, 76% of whom were women; (5) Obtained legal and judicial progress in 44 emblematic cases in Haiti; (6) filed a brief with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights on gender-based violence in Haiti; and (7) Organized a first international conference on the fight against corruption.
