Haiti ProjectsWith our partner FAVILEK (Women Victims Get Up, Stand Up), all sexual violence survivors, and many targeted during Haiti's military dictatorship, we created original theatre about the earthquake, its aftermath, and continued insecurity for women and girls.
FAVILEK (Women Victims Get Up, Stand Up) is a women’s group founded by survivors of gender violence that uses theatre to mobilize and educate for justice. They turned to theatre a decade ago as a way to reach out and be heard, and requested our help to create a new piece about the earthquake and its tragic aftermath.
“Why do you do theatre?,” we asked Bazelais, a member of FAVILEK. She responded: “To have an outlet for our feelings of what we have endured.” |

“Now we feel like we can do anything!” the women of FAVILEK told us after our initial workshops. “We feel so much stronger now!” exclaimed Merina at the conclusion of our workshops. “Please come back!”
