Amid a worsening humanitarian emergency in Haiti, International Organization for Migration (IOM) Director General Amy Pope visits Port-au-Prince and Cap-Haïtien, urging the international community to step up and support for communities uprooted by violence and instability.
On 8 March 2025, in Ouanaminthe, Haiti, IOM and its partners commemorated International Women’s Day at the Centre de Resources Frontalier, where thousands of deported migrants—many of them women and children—arrive every month in vulnerable conditions. This event served as a powerful platform to amplify the voices of migrant women, highlight their challenges, and advocate for their rights in migration governance. Through community engagement, psychosocial activities, art therapy, and discussions on gender equality, the event reinforced the importance of empowering women and girls in migration. Women shared their experiences of forced return, economic hardship, and social reintegration, while IOM and partners reaffirmed their commitment to gender-sensitive support programs.
