H.Res. 1018 is a congressional resolution expressing the House's position that women's rights and leadership are essential to Haiti's stability and democratic recovery. The resolution condemns widespread sexual violence against Haitian women and girls, their systematic exclusion from Haiti's transitional government (including zero women on the seven-member Transitional Presidential Council), and the international community's failure to prioritize women's needs in support efforts. It also criticizes recent U.S. State Department and Defense Department decisions to dismantle institutional commitments to women's peace and security initiatives, which the resolution argues contradicts the 2017 Women, Peace, and Security Act that Congress passed. The resolution calls for urgent action to ensure women hold at least 30 percent of all government positions per Haiti's constitution, to fund survivor services and prosecutions of gender-based violence, to protect women in displacement sites, and to rebuild the State Department's Office of Global Women's Issues and the Defense Department's Women, Peace, and Security program. While this is a sense-of-the-House resolution without direct funding or legal force, it represents Congress expressing its expectations for U.S. policy toward Haiti and criticizing recent executive branch actions on women's rights initiatives.
