*This note is written by a woman, about women, to help the women of Haiti but *MEN*, we deeply & wholly, *NEED* your support, strength, & solidarity, as well! Please read below and learn how to help the women of Haiti & the women you most care for in your own life. We all are connected, need each other, must work together to heal ourselves, our Earth, our global community.
Thank you for your support, respect, action and love of all humanity. ~Jennifer

Dear Friends,
So often, as women, we are busy fighting for equality--to be paid, treated, and respected the same as men--that we forget to value our bodies, minds, hearts, and spirits from a female perspective.
Now, more than ever, it is imperative for us to connect with ourselves, as women, and envision the plight of Haitian women who may be pregnant, nursing, post-partum, or menstruating. They may have lost children, spouses, partners, whole families, pregnancies.
Tent cities have sprung up and while, reports from Haiti have been peaceful mostly, without alot of interpersonal violence, as the trauma sets in, undoubtedly (though, I wish for just the opposite!) there will be untreated Post-Traumatic Stress that takes root, causing the rates of violence, sexual assault and all forms of abuse to skyrocket.
We-here-now...must take a moment to consider what it would be like as women to face the circumstances Haitian women are experiencing. Perhaps some of us have lived through natural disasters before. Perhaps we have lived through our own, personal disastrous circumstances. Either way, the value of an incredible network of women is irreplaceable.
Many of Haiti's women leaders of change have been lost from within Haiti and the Haitian Diaspora, an imperative piece of Hatian infrastructure and security. Therefore, at this time, we must dig deeper, give more, organize harder, activate in greater ways, and share as if we were experiencing this extreme crisis & catastrophic situation first-hand. There is no, greater motivation than empathy.
The power to help is in our hands. We can hold fundraisers, bake sales, donate portions of income, auction crafts, ask companies to match donations, write music, create art, send quilts, organize community contributions, create accounts for donations from houses of faith...the list is endless and can be as creative as one's own passions to give.
Below is a list of Women's Organizations that work in, around, in support of and with Haiti which provide resources specifically, to women through women's programming. This is not a complete list but is a fairly comprehensive initial list-and will continue to grow. Please post others on our group wall or message me. I will add them to the expanding list. Please circulate this list!
When giving, please give sustainably-commit even small amounts for a month, a year, 5 years. We see the change in our own lives & spirits from the help we provide to others. The women of Haiti need our love, support, and for their womanhood to be cherished.
We must work together to help fill in the gap.
In solidarity and hope for Haiti's future,
~Jennifer
