Episode 11 NEIGHBORS: Rivyè Masak to Stephora — A Timeline of Anti-Haitian Violence

In this episode, host Le Joseph traces the long, painful history of anti-Haitianism in the Dominican Republic — from colonial killings at the river border, to the 1937 Parsley Massacre ordered by Rafael Trujillo, to modern cases of rape, murder, and institutional violence targeting Haitians.

Through documented events — including the 2011 rape and murder near Dajabón, the 2015 lynching of Henry “Tulile” Claude Jean, the 2023 and 2024 rape allegations involving Dominican migration agents, systemic abuse of Haitian women in Dominican health and immigration systems, and the 2025 drowning of 11-year-old Stephora Anne-Mircie Joseph — this episode exposes a consistent pattern often denied or minimized.
