In response to the devastating earthquake in Haiti, The Association of Women's Rights in Development (AWID) has launched a special section on its website designed to provide a wide range of information on the context of the crisis, the latest analysis on the aftermath of the earthquake, how the crisis is impacting women and women's rights, how to ensure women's rights are at the centre of responses to disasters, and how you can act in solidarity with the women, men and children of Haiti. The new web section is part of efforts to support feminist contributions to relief efforts in Haiti by fostering awareness about what women's organisations are doing on the ground and in other parts of the world. AWID is also promoting the opening of spaces that give visibility and a voice to the needs and the realities of Haitian women not only during this humanitarian catastrophe but also on a long term basis.
