The Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA), American Jewish World Service (AJWS) and Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) cordially invite you to:
A Reception in Honor of Haitian Human Rights Defenders and Anticorruption Activists
Haiti has been mired in crisis for much of the last year as a youth-led anticorruption movement threatens the political status quo. High-level government officials, including the current president, have been implicated in a massive $2 billion scandal involving the Venezuela-led Petrocaribe initiative. In this context, Haiti has experienced a worrying increase in human rights violations.
The delegates will provide brief remarks on the current situation at the start of the event.
