Women in Haiti have long played a transformative role in responding to social and environmental crises, mobilizing for democratic processes, and advancing human rights, all while facing barriers like gender-based violence, which also hinders their public engagement.

Recent information on the personnel recruited by the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) at the level of BED and BEC shows significant progress. Some departments show a participation of more than 30% of women in electoral management, notably in the South (38.1%), Les Nippes (33.33%), and the Centre (32.5%). Furthermore, in the South department, nine women have been appointed to lead the offices and two women in the Ouest 1 department.
