As the world celebrates Women’s History Month in 2025, the remarkable life and legacy of Claudette Werleigh, Haiti’s first female prime minister, stand as a testament to the power of women’s leadership and resilience. Born on September 26, 1946, in Cap-Haïtien, Werleigh broke barriers and paved the way for future generations of women in Haiti and beyond. Her journey from medicine and pedagogy to law, economics, and ultimately political leadership embodies the theme of this year’s Women’s History Month: “Empowering Women, Shaping the Future.”
