The Role of Women in Post 2010 Earthquake Haiti

Time 30 Minutes - Show #1406

For 16 years, staff of the Lambi Fund have helped rural communities in Haiti work toward self-sufficiency.

Since the Jan. 12 earthquake, the humanitarian organization has witnessed the effects of reverse migration on those communities as more than a half-million people have streamed out of Port-au-Prince, Haiti’s heavily damaged capital. The 80-year-old mother of Lambi staff member Pierre St. Cyr, for example, has taken in 39 earthquake survivors.

The organization is part of a coalition that is circulating principles calling for the inclusion of women in the earthquake recovery process, says Carol Barton, an executive with the Women’s Division, United Methodist Board of Global Ministries.

United Methodists intend to be involved “in direct support for efforts to train and mobilize grassroots women in some of the refugee camps in Haiti to monitor how aid is getting to the camps, how it is being distributed and whether women’s needs are being taken into account,” she added.

At the United Nations, the Huairou Commission, a partner with United Methodist Women, submitted a statement on behalf of the coalition during recent meetings of the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women, noting that because women are “disproportionately impacted” by the earthquake, they also are key to Haiti’s recovery.

“We expect to see a large and diverse number of Haitian women’s organizations consulted and included in needs and damage assessments, and in the design, implementation and monitoring and evaluation of post-disaster aid programs,” the statement said, adding that financial aid to grassroots women and their organizations is essential.

Tribute to Michael Manley, Former Prime Minister of Jamaica

Time 30 Minutes Show# 124

(Born December 10, 1924, St. Andrew, Jamaica—died March 6, 1997, Kingston)

Michael Manley was one of the most outstanding political figures in the post-colonial history of the Caribbean. As a politician, labour leader, author and intellectual, Mr Manley made a seminal contribution to Jamaican, Caribbean and international politics.

His pioneering program of legislative social reforms in the 1970s and his role in the formation of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and later the Association of Caribbean States (ACS) guarantee him a prominent place in modern Caribbean history.

He was the son of noted sculptor Edna Swithenbank Manley and national hero Norman Manley, the founder of the People's National Party (PNP) and Jamaica's prime minister from 1959 to 1962. Following service in the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II, he attended the London School of Economics, where he studied with socialist Harold Laski. After working as a freelance journalist in London, Manley returned to Jamaica in 1951 and went to work for Public Opinion, a leftist weekly newspaper. He soon became active in the trade-union movement, attaining positions of union leadership and gaining recognition as a skilled negotiator. In 1962 he was appointed to Jamaica's Senate, and in 1967 he was elected to the House of Representatives. Two years later Manley succeeded his father as president of the PNP, and when the party won the election in 1972, he became prime minister. Once in office, Manley set about instituting policies for redistributing wealth, and he became a champion of the less-developed nations' nonaligned movement. In 1973 he was one of the founders of the Caribbean Community and Common Market (Caricom), and he cultivated close relationships with Cuba and the socialist countries of eastern Europe and the Far East, a move that did not sit well with the United States and led to a loss in international foreign aid. Manley proved popular with Jamaicans, who nicknamed him “Joshua” after the biblical prophet, and in 1976 he was reelected. His policies, however, eventually proved to be financially disastrous. Violence between the left and the right escalated, and he lost the 1980 election to the conservative Edward Seaga of the Jamaica Labour Party. By the late 1980s, however, Manley had adopted a more moderate outlook and favored closer relations with the United States. In 1989 he was again elected prime minister. Still claiming to be a socialist, he nonetheless pursued free-market policies and privatized many state-owned enterprises. In 1992 Manley was forced to resign because of poor health.
