BEYOND BORDERS EMPLOYED 47 STAFF (HAITI, NORTH AMERICA AND EUROPE) AND OPERATED PROGRAMMING OUT OF THREE HAITI-BASED OFFICES IN JACMEL, PORT-AU-PRINCE, AND ON THE ISLAND OF LAGONAV, HAITI. NORTH AMERICAN STAFF ARE LOCATED IN SEVERAL US STATES, IN CANADA AND IN THE UNITED KINGDOM. A SHARP ESCALATION IN THE SOCIO-POLITICAL CRISIS IMPACTED PROGRAM ADVANCEMENT WITH HEIGHTENED LEVELS OF GANG VIOLENCE (PARTICULARLY IN PORT-AU-PRINCE) AND WIDESPREAD INSECURITY ACROSS THE COUNTRY. INFLATION, FOOD INSECURITY AND DROUGHT CREATED NUMEROUS CHALLENGES FOR IMPLEMENTATION COMMUNITIES AND HAITI-BASED STAFF. DESPITE THE CHALLENGES, PROGRAMMING CONTINUED AND ADVANCEMENTS WERE MADE USING CREATIVE SOLUTIONS AND INCREASED CONTINGENCY PLANNING. URBAN MODEL COMMUNITY INITIATIVE MOVEMENT TO END CHILD DOMESTIC SERVITUDE (RESTAVK): DESPITE THE OVERWHELMING GANG VIOLENCE THAT DISRUPTED NUMEROUS ACTIVITIES IN AND AROUND PORT-AU-PRINCE, THE URBAN TEAM SUCCESSFULLY MAINTAINED THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ESSENTIAL PROGRAMS, PARTICULARLY IN THE URBAN AREAS OF LAGONAV ISLAND. SIGNIFICANT ADVANCEMENTS WERE ACHIEVED IN FOUR URBAN NEIGHBORHOODS FOCUSED ON STRENGTHENING COMMUNITY ORGANIZING AND EXPANDING THE CADRE OF TRAINED ACTIVISTS WHO RALLIED AROUND COMMON GOALS. THE ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY OF LOCALLY ESTABLISHED CHILD PROTECTION BRIGADES (CPB) AND LOCAL BRANCHES OF THE ADULT SURVIVORS OF RESTAVK NETWORK (SRN) ARE BEING STRENGTHENED, USING A COLLECTIVE LEADERSHIP MODEL, WHILE CHILD AND ADULT SURVIVORS OF RESTAVK GAIN ACCESS TO SERVICES THAT FACILITATE THEIR LIBERATION, REHABILITATIVE CARE, AND REINTEGRATION INTO FAMILY AND COMMUNITY. LONG-TERM PARTNER, PARTENARIAT POUR LE DVELOPPEMENT LOCAL (PDL), CONTINUES TO RECEIVE FINANCIAL AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR THEIR EFFORTS TO EXPAND AND STRENGTHEN THE MOVEMENT IN THE NORTH OF HAITI. BASED IN GROS MORNE IN THE ARTIBONITE DEPARTMENT, THE CONGREGATION OF THE RELIGIOUS OF JESUS AND MARY (RJM) CONTINUES TO RECEIVE TECHNICAL SUPPORT, AS PART OF THE CATHOLIC SISTERS HAITI COLLABORATIVE, FUNDED BY THE HILTON FOUNDATION. SURVIVORS ARE USING THREE NEW VILLAGE SAVINGS AND LOANS ASSOCIATIONS TO BUILD FINANCIAL STABILITY - SURVIVORS OF RESTAVK IN HAITI FACE SIGNIFICANT ECONOMIC CHALLENGES. THE INJUSTICES AND HORRORS THEY ENDURED AS CHILDREN OFTEN HINDER THEIR ABILITY TO ACQUIRE MARKETABLE SKILLS OR JOIN SOCIAL NETWORKS. TO SUPPORT THESE SURVIVORS, THREE NEW VILLAGE SAVINGS AND LOANS GROUPS HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED IN ANSAGALE, LINKED TO THE ADULT SURVIVORS OF RESTAVK NETWORK. THESE GROUPS RECEIVED SEED MONEY FROM BB/DF TO STIMULATE ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES. ADDITIONALLY, RECORD-KEEPING CLASSES WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE UPCOMING CYCLE TO HELP MEMBERS MANAGE THEIR FINANCIAL LEDGERS. GAINING FINANCIAL STABILITY REDUCES THE CHANCES THAT CHILDREN OF SURVIVORS WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE SAME CYCLE OF POVERTY AND ABUSE. PSYCHOSOCIAL THERAPY FOR SURVIVORS IN ANSAGALE AND BEYOND - GROUP THERAPY SESSIONS CONTINUE ON LAGONAV. SEVEN NEW GROUPS HAVE FORMED. THE GROUPS HAVE MET FOR EIGHT OUT OF TEN SESSIONS. EACH SESSION IS ORGANIZED AROUND A THEME SUCH AS EMOTIONAL MANAGEMENT, SELF-AWARENESS, SELF-WORTH, AND SELF-AFFIRMATION. GROUPS OF SURVIVORS JOIN TOGETHER TO MAXIMIZE IMPACT - THE SURVIVORS' NETWORK IN ANSAGALE HELD ITS SECOND GENERAL ASSEMBLY DURING WHICH IT ELECTED MEMBERS TO A GOVERNING COUNCIL AND ADOPTED STATUTES. THE FOUR GROUPS REPRESENTED AT THE ASSEMBLY DID THIS IN ORDER TO BETTER COORDINATE COLLECTIVE ACTION. MEANWHILE IN PORT-AU-PRINCE, THE SURVIVORS' NETWORK THERE MANAGED TO MEET THREE TIMES THIS TRIMESTER. TWO OF THE MEETINGS WERE TO EXPLORE OPPORTUNITIES TO COLLABORATE WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS COMMITTED TO ENDING THE RESTAVEK PRACTICE INCLUDING DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS AND THE BUREAU DES AVOCATS INTERNATIONAUX (BAI). CELEBRATION OF 10 YEARS OF THE ANTI-HUMAN TRAFFICKING LAW APRIL 30, 2014 - APRIL 30, 2024, MARKED TEN YEARS SINCE THE HAITIAN PARLIAMENT ADOPTED THE ANTI-HUMAN TRAFFICKING LAW. WORKSHOPS WERE HELD IN KPT CHACHO, PON BWAYE, FON IBO, AND KRESAK TO PROMOTE THE LAW AND URGE AUTHORITIES TO ENFORCE IT. THESE WORKSHOPS WERE ATTENDED BY LOCAL AUTHORITIES, SCHOOL TEACHERS, DIRECTORS, AND RELIGIOUS REPRESENTATIVES. BB-DF'S TECHNICAL SUPPORT OFFICER PARTICIPATED IN A WORKSHOP IN FON IBO. ADDITIONALLY, A WORKSHOP WAS HELD IN KPT SANYAGO TO MARK THE LAW'S 10TH ANNIVERSARY, ALSO ATTENDED BY LOCAL AUTHORITIES, TEACHERS, SCHOOL DIRECTORS, AND RELIGIOUS REPRESENTATIVES. COLLABORATING WITH WORLD VISION AND THE ANSAGAL SURVIVOR NETWORK, A WORKSHOP AND PRESS CONFERENCE WERE HELD ON APRIL 30 IN ANSAGAL TO EDUCATE PARTICIPANTS ABOUT THE LAW, REFLECT ON ITS IMPLEMENTATION OVER THE PAST DECADE, AND CRITICIZE THE AUTHORITIES' PASSIVE ENFORCEMENT. THIS EVENT GATHERED COMMUNITY EDUCATION NETWORK MEMBERS, THE TOWN'S MAYOR, LOCAL OFFICIALS, AND AROUND 50 PARTICIPANTS, WITH MEDIA COVERAGE. RURAL MODEL COMMUNITY INITIATIVE MOVEMENT TO END CHILD DOMESTIC SERVITUDE (RESTAVK): BB HAS BEEN ACTIVELY MOBILIZING COMMUNITIES TO ENSURE THAT CHILDREN ENJOY THEIR RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO A FAMILY AND SECURITY. THEY PROVIDED PROTECTIVE SERVICES TO 195 AT-RISK CHILDREN, WITH EIGHT CHILDREN (SIX GIRLS AND TWO BOYS) LIBERATED FROM HARMFUL SITUATIONS AND RECEIVING PSYCHOSOCIAL AND ECONOMIC SUPPORT TO AID IN THEIR HEALING. MOREOVER, SIX GIRLS WHO HAD EXPERIENCED RAPE TRAUMA RECEIVED COMPREHENSIVE ASSISTANCE, INCLUDING PSYCHOLOGICAL, MEDICAL, AND LEGAL SUPPORT, ENABLING THEM TO SEEK JUSTICE. IN ADDITION TO THESE DIRECT INTERVENTIONS, BB IDENTIFIED 57 CHILDREN LIVING IN HOUSEHOLDS WITH A SIGNIFICANT RISK OF VIOLENCE. TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES, PARENTS WERE SENSITIZED, AND FOLLOW-UP SUPPORT WAS PROVIDED, RESULTING IN REPORTS FROM CHILD PROTECTION GROUPS INDICATING THE ELIMINATION OF VIOLENCE RISKS IN THESE FAMILIES. BB ALSO SUPPORTED 124 CHILDREN (53 GIRLS AND 71 BOYS) WITH EDUCATIONAL AND ECONOMIC RESOURCES, EMPOWERING THEM TO PURSUE THEIR EDUCATION AND OVERCOME CHALLENGING CIRCUMSTANCES. PSYCHOLOGICAL SUPPORT WAS EXTENDED TO 192 ADULT SURVIVORS (181 FEMALES AND 11 MALES), WHILE 95 RECEIVED ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE THROUGH VILLAGE SAVINGS AND LOANS GROUPS, FACILITATING THEIR REHABILITATION AND REINTEGRATION INTO FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES. THE ESTABLISHMENT OF COMMUNITY-BASED CHILD PROTECTION STRUCTURES EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS, WITH 30 NEW STRUCTURES INAUGURATED-19 CHILD PROTECTION BRIGADES (CPBS) AND 11 BRANCHES OF THE ADULT SURVIVORS OF RESTAVK NETWORK (SRN). THIS ACHIEVEMENT DOUBLED THE GOAL, WITH THE SRN BRANCHES UNITING 218 SURVIVORS COMMITTED TO SUPPORTING ONE ANOTHER AND PROMOTING AWARENESS AGAINST THE RESTAVK PRACTICE. BB STAFF FACILITATED A CAPACITY-BUILDING PLAN FOR 19 CPBS BASED ON EVALUATIONS, PROVIDING TECHNICAL SUPPORT TO IMPROVE THEIR EFFECTIVENESS. PROGRESS HAS BEEN NOTED IN 27 CPBS, WITH ONE REQUIRING MINIMAL SUPPORT, A PROCESS THAT WILL CONTINUE INTO THE FOLLOWING YEAR. THE EDUCATION IS A CONVERSATION (ESK) CHILD RIGHTS TRAINING PROGRAM ALSO SAW SUCCESS, WITH A 97% GRADUATION RATE AMONG PARTICIPANTS. NOTABLY, 92% REPORTED USING DIALOGUE INSTEAD OF VIOLENCE AS A DISCIPLINE METHOD, AND 84% STATED THEY NO LONGER BELITTLE OR BULLY THEIR CHILDREN. BB EMPLOYS THE TI RANKONT SEKT (TRS) METHODOLOGY ALONGSIDE ESK TO COMBAT CHILD EXPLOITATION. THIS METHODOLOGY ALLOWS TRAINED COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO FACILITATE SESSIONS BEYOND ESK'S INITIAL REACH, IMPACTING AREAS SUCH AS CHURCHES AND SCHOOLS. IN THE PAST YEAR, 30 INDIVIDUALS (14 WOMEN, 16 MEN) FROM 25 COMMUNITIES WERE TRAINED TO LEAD TRS GROUPS, ENGAGING 531 NEW PARTICIPANTS (360 WOMEN AND 171 MEN). ON JUNE 12TH, COINCIDING WITH NATIONAL CHILDREN'S RIGHTS DAY IN HAITI AND THE INTERNATIONAL DAY AGAINST CHILD LABOR, 19 CPBS ORGANIZED AWARENESS-RAISING ACTIVITIES IN 21 COMMUNITIES INVOLVING 1,136 PARTICIPANTS. THESE EVENTS FOCUSED ON IDENTIFYING HARMFUL LABOR PRACTICES AND THEIR DETRIMENTAL IMPACTS ON CHILDREN. OPEN SPACE METHODOLOGY WAS UTILIZED FOR COMMUNITY DISCUSSIONS ON VIOLENCE FACED BY CHILDREN AND YOUTH, LEADING TO COLLECTIVE COMMITMENTS TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES. A TOTAL OF 19 OPEN SPACE SESSIONS ENGAGED 649 PARTICIPANTS (450 WOMEN AND 199 MEN). ADDITIONALLY, SIMULATED LEGAL TRIALS WERE PROJECTED IN FOUR REGIONS TO RAISE AWARENESS OF HAITIAN ANTI-TRAFFICKING LAWS, WITH 188 COMMUNITY MEMBERS ATTENDING THESE SESSIONS. THE OBJECTIVES INCLUDED PROMOTING ENFORCEMENT OF THE 2014 ANTI-TRAFFICKING LAW, EDUCATING THE PUBLIC ON LEGAL SANCTIONS, AND DETERRING THE EXPLOITATION OF NON-BIOLOGICAL CHILDREN BY HIGHLIGHTING POTENTIAL LEGAL CONSEQUENCES.
