on April 3, 1986, shortly after the end of the Duvalier regime, more than 30,000 women from diverse backgrounds took to the streets of Port-au-Prince to demand to be included in Haiti’s return to democracy. The 1986 march, organized by more than a dozen grassroots groups, called attention to sexual and gender-based violence, women’s financial exclusion, lack of access to health and education, among other issues. The event was well-received and marked the renewal of Haiti’s women’s movement; eventually contributing to the creation of the Ministry of Women’s Affairs and Women’s Rights.

Le 3 avril 1986, peu après la fin du régime de Duvalier, plus de 30 000 femmes de divers classes sociales sont descendues dans les rues de Port-au-Prince pour demander d’être incluses dans le retour de la démocratie en Haïti. La marche, organisée par plus d’une douzaine de groupes populaires, a attiré l’attention sur la violence sexuelle, le sexisme, l’exclusion financière des femmes, l’accès à la santé et à l’éducation, etc. L’événement a relancé le mouvement des femmes d’Haïti; a contribué à la création du Ministère de la condition de la femme et des droits de la femme.

3 avril 1986, on ti tan apre fen rejim Divalye a, plis pase 30,000 fanm ki soti nan divès klas sosyal te pran lari nan Pòtoprens pou mande pou yo te enkli nan retou demokrasi an Ayiti. Màsh nan mwa Mas 1986 la, ki te òganize pa plis pase yon douzèn gwoup popilè, te vle pou yo mét plis atansyon nan zafè vyolans seksyèl, zafè sèksis, zafè esklizyon finansye fanm yo, mank de aksè nan sante ak edikasyon, ak lòt pwoblèm. Evènman an te make renouvèlman mouvman fanm ayisyen an; evantyèlman li kontribiye nan kreyasyon Ministè kondisyon ak Dwa fanm.

After the successful revolt of rebels of Santo Domingo of 27 February 1844, Président Hérard responded immediately and tried to retake the Dominican Republic with an army of about 25,000 soldiers on 10 March 1844.
He entered the new Dominican Republic with the intent of returning the eastern half of the island to Haitian rule.
He was quickly defeated and within a month, he had to retreat with his army back into Haiti.

By the end of March, a rebel army of peasants and farmers began to muster near the city of Les Cayes. The rebels, known as piquets, were armed with long pikes (hence the name).

Vilbrun Guillaume Sam, né Jean Simon Guillaume (4 mars 1859 – 28 juillet 1915), was President of the Republique of Haiti from March 9th 1915 to July 27th 1915. Chief of the “Cacos”, he took office in February 1915 after the fall of General Joseph Davilmar Théodore, founder of the “Cacos” militia.
