SRES 599 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that protecting and advancing the rights of women and girls in the Republic of Haiti is critical to the success of Haiti's transition from crisis and its future stability, condemning the failure to center women's leadership and distinct needs to date, and calling for urgent measures to secure all human rights of women and girls in Haiti.

SRES 599 is a non-binding Senate resolution expressing the Senate's view that protecting Haitian women and girls' rights is essential for Haiti's stability. It condemns Haiti's transitional government for excluding women from leadership (e.g., no women on the Transitional Presidential Council) and failing to meet the constitutional 30% women's representation requirement, while also criticizing international partners for not prioritizing gender-based violence prevention. The resolution specifically calls for urgent measures including: ensuring 30% women in all government leadership roles, improving protection services for survivors of gender-based violence, and implementing safety protocols in displacement sites. It also demands the U.S. rebuild its Women, Peace, and Security programs and requires all aid to include gender-disaggregated data and prioritize women's leadership.
