Our Story
Federation of Organized Women of the North (FEFONORD)
​
We, the women of the North of Haïti, after having reflected many times on the degrading and alarming situation of the women of the North, we have seen fit to regroup by setting up a federation called Federation of Organized Women of the North with the acronym FEFONORD whose head office is in Cap- Haïtien. It was founded on December 21, 2016, non-profit, humanitarian and apolitical.

Projects
We see from 2016 to 2023 many women and girls are victims of violence. This is why we always refer them to the departments concerned. To reduce this scourge, we plan to raise their awareness, train them, inform them and supervise them. To carry out our mission and our vision, we immediately need a shelter, office equipment, because the one we had before was burned down by gangs; rolling stock to visit our members and circulate in the communes.

Here are important dates for women and girls.
-
April 4th: Movement of Haitian Women.
-
