About this listen

To many North Americans, the Dominican Republic is known for its sandy beaches and pristine resorts, but there is a story that runs deeper than the clear water along the coast. In the Dominican Republic, a 2013 legal change stripped hundreds of thousands of Dominicans of Haitian descent of their Dominican nationality, leaving them stateless. Rayjon speaks with activist Rosa Iris Diendomi and partner organization ASCALA members Sister Maria Eugenia and lawyer Michael Abreu about the reality for those who remain stateless ten years later.

Original artwork by Samuel “Sammo” Augustin.
