Biography

Anne Marie Coriolan (1956 – January 12, 2010) was a Haitian feminist and activist.

Coriolan founded the advocacy organization Solidarite Fanm Ayisyen (Haitian Women’s Solidarity). She served as cabinet chief and then senior advisor for the Haitian Ministry of Women's Affairs. She helped change the law in Haiti so that rape became a punishable offence instead of being viewed as a "crime of passion". She also founded the Centre de recherche et d’action pour le développement, an education and training organization.

Coriolan died at the age of 53 in the 2010 Haiti earthquake when her boyfriend's house collapsed.
