The Minister for women and women's Rights in Haiti has resigned the government of Martelly-Paul, following verbal abuses by President Michel Martelly on a woman in Miraguane

Ms. Morquette's resignation letter followed that of the Minister of Social Affairs, Mr. Victor Benoit done on August 6, 2015. This decision was taken by the Political Party Fusion Social Democrats following the statement of President Martelly in a political gathering in Miraguane.

Three members of Haiti's coalition government, representatives from the Fusion of Social Democrats have resigned in protest of an inappropriate and ribald humor of the Head of State against a woman in Miragoâne, during a political rally on July 28. During the rally, the President told a woman to go in the bushes and have sex. The woman had accused Martelly's government of incompetence because they failed to bring electricity to her community. The resigned ministers are, Victor Benoit, Minister of Social Affairs and Labor, Yves Rose Morquette, Minister for the Status and Rights of Women, and Mozart Clerisson, Secretary of State for Literacy. The resignation letters of Yves Rose Morquette and Victor Benoit have been submitted to the Prime Minister; only the letter from the Secretary of State for Literacy is still waiting.

Here is a picture of Minister Victor BENOIT and Michel Martelly.

The term for the members of parliament expired and President Martelly ruled by decree. One of his first acts was to appoint a new 'consensus government' made up of pieces of his old cabinet, and new ministers from the opposition.

This act still couldn't find favor with the opposition, who were quick to find fault with the choices for cabinet. Those who are new include Labor and Social Affairs Minister Victor Benoit, and Minister of Interior Ariel Henry. Their appointment has not been the salve hoped for as, according to the former senate president, the changes are bringing on more problems, not solving any.

A new generation of leaders is born in the Haitian political party Fusion. Unlike many political parties in Haiti, it is a good thing to watch the changing of the guard in Fusion. The Senator of Central Department, Senator Edmonde Supplice Beauzile, was just named the new head of the party. Ms. Beauzile, becomes the second woman to head a political party in Haiti, after Mirlande Manigat of RDNP.

The election of Edmonde Supplice Beauzile tFusion marks a shift. The party is hoping this new blood would bring the youth and the women in the Haitian society to become more involved in Fusion. Many in the political field see this move as wise
