Global Women's Strike and other solidarity organisations call for signatures in support of a return for exiled Haitian former president Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
20,000 Haitian women have already signed a petition in support of the return of Jean-Bertrand and Mildred Aristide and family to Haiti. The Aristide family has been in exile since a U.S. and France supported coup in 2004. Global Women's Strike and other solidarity organisations are coordinating a petition campaign in support of the Haitian women's petition.
The petition reads:
“We, women of Haiti, believe that Jean-Bertrand Aristide has tremendous contributions to offer towards the rebuilding of the country.
“We ask women around the world who support the popular movement of Haiti to take up this petition, add their names, and send it to President Obama and his wife Michele Obama.
“I support the call of the women of Haiti for the return of President Aristide and his family, without conditions, as required by Article 41 of the Haitian Constitution."
