A recently released report by the Defenders Plus Collective has shed light on the deteriorating human rights situation in Haiti during September 2025. The document, which serves as a monthly assessment, reveals a harrowing escalation of violence and rights violations across multiple regions, leaving the population in a state of despair and displacement. The report underscores a surge in assassinations, sexual violence, kidnappings, forced displacements, and armed attacks, which have collectively inflicted immense suffering on thousands of families. The West, Artibonite, Center, and Northwest regions have been particularly hard-hit, with local communities enduring unprecedented levels of violence. Women and children, often the most vulnerable, have borne the brunt of these atrocities, either as direct victims or as survivors struggling to cope with the dire conditions of displacement. The Defenders Plus Collective has sounded the alarm, urging immediate attention to the escalating crisis. For a comprehensive understanding of the situation, the full report, available in French, can be accessed via the provided link.
