Disaster in Haiti: Digging out the Truth

January 28, 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

THAC hosts Haiti discussion in Toronto.

Just five days before a magnitude 7 earthquake hit Haiti, an American and Canadian human rights/social justice delegation was finishing up an 11-day fact-finding mission. During their delegation, they met with grassroots groups, victims of violence, human rights leaders, and even visited the prison.

The delegation had already presented its findings to the Haitian media, and was preparing to present its conclusions to the Canadian and American governments when disaster struck the country. But rather than make those conclusions invalid, the earthquake has emphasized the importance of those findings: for example, findings about aid, and the extent to which assistance is reaching the people on the ground.
