Who we are
NÈGÈS MAWON is a Haitian Feminist organization fighting against the effects of the patriarchal organization of society on Women.
About us
Our mandate
We shelterWe advocateWe educateWe create
Support and Accompaniment
Recognizing that solidarity is one of the pillars of Haitian society, we provide material, psychological, and administrative support and assistance from a Feminist perspective.
Action and Mobilization
Claiming our right to public space is important to us. For this reason, NÈGÈS MAWON organizes public actions and events, including protests, demonstrations, artistic performances, debates, and other forms of collective mobilization.
Bringing Together and Gathering
Working toward justice and equality requires training, knowledge-sharing, and collective analysis of the different forms of domination and oppression that we experience as Women and Girls. For this reason, we organize meetings and training sessions that create opportunities to understand, exchange, and learn.
Advocacy
The Haitian Feminist struggle has achieved major political victories, but these important advances must not make us forget all that remains to be won. For this reason, our organization engages in legislative monitoring and advocacy to ensure that public policies protecting Women and advancing their political, social, cultural, and economic autonomy are enshrined in law.

in her words
“After I experienced sexual violence, I lost my faith in life. I no longer felt like a human being, and I wanted to end it all. I could not afford to continue, so I had to drop out of school.
But when I met the sister assigned to me, she gave me back my joy in life and did everything she could to help me return to school.”
