Haiti

Women

Haiti ranks 152 out of 162 countries in the Gender Inequality Index, where a high rank equals high equality. Women should always be considered as a particularly vulnerable group though.

​

Children

Haiti has a Workplace Index score of 5.8, a Marketplace Index score of 5.4 and a Community and Environment Index score of 5.9 in the Children’s Rights and Business Atlas, where countries receive scores between 0 and 10. A score closer to 0 reflects a need for basic children’s rights due diligence, while a higher score reflects a need for enhanced or heightened due diligence. Children should always be considered as a particularly vulnerable group though. 

​

Persons with Disabilities

Due to differences in data collection and definitions it is difficult to compare countries on disability prevalence rates. Persons with disabilities should always be considered as a particularly vulnerable group though.

​

Minorities and Indigenous Peoples

According to the World Directory of Minorities and Indigenous Peoples, the overwhelming majority (around 95 %) of the Haitian population is of African descent. 

The rest of the population is mostly of mixed European-African ancestry. There are a few people of Syrian and Lebanese origin, and there is also a community of Europeans of Polish origin and a small minority of people from the Dominican Republic.
