Appeal from the CoEH to the European Union for Support in Upholding Human Rights in Haiti and Greater Attention to Vulnerable Groups
The Coordination Europe-Haiti (CoEH) raises alarm over the worsening security and humanitarian crisis in Haiti, where human rights are gravely endangered, particularly for women and children. The international security mission remains ineffective, while poverty and mass displacement continue to rise. The CoEH calls on the European Union to support a transition that breaks with old practices, strengthen Haitian institutions, and invest in sustainable solutions focused on the population and youth. It emphasizes the urgency of addressing humanitarian needs while adopting a holistic approach to break the cycle of violence and despair.
A Haitian Woman’s Perspective on Haiti’s Presence in Europe Today
From October 8 to 28, 2024, Colette Lespinasse, the representative of Coordination Europe Haiti (CoEH) in Haïti, visited several European countries to engage with people and organizations interested in Haiti’s future. This included meetings with parliamentarians, representatives from CoEH member organizations and other NGOs, Haitian diaspora groups, and former aid workers who once served in Haiti. These exchanges offered insight into Europe’s stance on Haiti, revealing that while some solidarity groups remain deeply concerned, European political attention is largely absorbed by other global crises. Faced with limited budgets, many European actors now prioritize partnerships offering clear economic or political returns, leaving less focus on Haiti. Yet, amid these shifts, solidarity organizations continue striving to raise awareness, collect funds, and promote sustainability, underscoring the enduring need for advocacy in Europe-Haiti relations.
