In Haiti, the CONAP, the National Coordinating
Body Lobbying for Women’s Rights, received the Charter in a public ceremony on
Thursday, April 7. The next day, a Colombian delegate accompanied the Haitian
representatives to deliver the Women's Global Charter for Humanity to the
country’s officials, represented by the Ministers of the Status of Women,
Health, Culture and Justice.
The CONAP took the occasion to reaffirm its
commitment to the fight for Haitian women’s right to live without violence,
with dignity and in an independent, sovereign country. It also encouraged
interested women’s groups to participate in popular education and consultation
activities as part of the process to build another kind of humanity, as
advocated in the Charter. The World Relay then continued on its way to Cuba.
