AfrohistoriaRD
AfrohistoriaRD es un proyecto con fines educativos y afro-turísticos liderado por personas defensoras de derechos humanos que luchan contra el racismo en República Dominicana. AfrohistoriaRD promueve una visión afro-centrista de la historia de la isla a través de experiencias inmersivas que visibilizan la vida, los saberes y la resistencia de las personas de origen africano esclavizadas y libres en Ayiti (La Hispaniola). Entre las actividades que organiza AfrohistoriaRD para este fin están los recorridos históricos, itinerarios culturales, charlas, talleres y consultorías.
In the Dominican Republic, Haitian descendants are widely seen as second class citizens. In 2010, a new constitution rendered stateless anyone who was born to an undocumented foreign parent. The ruling was implemented retroactively and thousands of people found themselves without valid documents overnight. Since then, many have been living in limbo: they are denied access to education, employment, health services and the right to vote. Human rights defenders who advocate for the rights of Haitian descendants have been subjected to threats, smear campaigns and attacks.
