In her speech, Minister Marie Françoise Suzan reflected on the ministry’s early days, saying, "At its inception, many doubted the relevance of a ministry dedicated to women’s rights. But thanks to the determination of Haitian feminist movements, the ministry has become a strong voice for women who had long been forgotten." Today, she affirmed, "The voices of women are heard and taken into account in important decisions regarding the future of the country." For state leaders Gary Conille and Leslie Voltaire, the celebration was an opportunity to reiterate their support and commitment to the fight for gender equality and the promotion of women’s rights.
Over the past 30 years, the MCFDF has initiated significant progress, notably the adoption of the December 2, 2005, decree outlining the organization and functions of the ministry. Fifteen ministers have served, each contributing to the mission of improving the status of women in Haiti. Among the key achievements is the creation of the Directorate for the Promotion and Defense of Women’s Rights, which is essential for the fight against gender-based violence.
