New York: Dominique Dupuy Brings Haiti’s Voice to the Global Debate on Women’s Leadership

In New York, Dominique Dupuy took part on September 24, 2026, in a meeting on the future of women’s leadership held on the sidelines of the 81st UN General Assembly.

Held at Goals House under the theme “Women in Political Leadership – Building for the Next Generation,” the event brought together politicians, decision-makers and civil society representatives to discuss the obstacles to women’s participation in public life and ways to prepare a new generation of women leaders.

A former foreign minister and former Haitian ambassador to UNESCO, Dupuy spoke on the panel “Protecting Progress and Navigating Setbacks.” She shared her experience in public office, including her time on the Transitional Presidential Council and the threats she faced. She also spoke about education, access to economic opportunity and the need to create conditions that support women’s lasting engagement in politics.

Alongside international figures including Adrienne Elrod and South African minister Pemmy Majodina, Dupuy helped bring Haiti’s experience into a global discussion on women’s representation, protection and the next generation of women in politics.
