The Naturalization and Regularization plan launched in 2013 gave migrants who were born outside the Dominican Republic a 2-years period to register for legal resident status through a process that will finally end, after many deadline extensions, on June 2018. More than 288000 people, almost entirely Haitians, have applied, but many lacked documents to prove their country of origin. Those who are deemed ineligible could be deported, the Dominican government still maintaining the right to define its deportation policy. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/d19354166ff04b65942e6ee1b4fe6254_hd.jpg https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/522fef536ef7814d88ec50f1b9e63187_hd.jpg 2017 | Ouanaminthe [Haiti] A young girl, daughter of deported Haitian parents, dancing in the shadow in the building that OTHR uses as a temporary accommodation for recently repatriated families.

I came here in May, and he died in August. He accompained me to the airport, helping me with my luggage, then asked me: 'where the hell are you going, my sister? Can't you find a boyfriend here?' Then I answered 'I don't know...It seems to be love!' Since that day I haven't seen him again". https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/4dc244493d55c0700bf50bf5bd5b950f_hd.jpg 2015 | Alamar, Ciudad de La Habana [Cuba] An old picture of Lydia and her husband Osvaldo, from their old wedding album. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/fc306a7191050c2a10e750a36b5d5550_hd.jpg 2015 | Ciudad de La Habana [Cuba] "We arrived with a boat named “Ivan Franko”, the 26th of March, 1992. The boat spent the whole night in neutral waters, and the only thing I could see were the lights of Malecon. I was up all night on the boat watching that lights…it was beautiful. I couldn’t see the houses, but I was able to see the Malecon, lights shining, wide roads…I was approaching a new life that was about to start. I can’t explain that feeling…But maybe in that moment I understood...I was with my family, united and ready to start our new life in a different country". https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/abeb4040b481988ab018c6fea010dd21_hd.jpg 2015 | Ciudad de La Habana [Cuba] "There are people who can never get used to this. They suffer all their life, or they leave. They cannot live here. But there are others who have this disease called Cuba running through their veins.

Someone is resting, someone is adorning the fence and someone else has just finished cleaning the car. Everything should be at its best for Ederlezi. The more you have, the more you have to show. Roma who can afford them, indeed, will invest much of their money in new and expensive cars or caravans. Prosperity displayed in this way is also considered honourable and a token of good fortune. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/fe88602964253510e44a875a001e0fca_hd.jpg 2012 | Kraljevo [Serbia] Collection of flowers and branches during Ederlezi occurs as a kind of festive procession, dancing and singing together.

Telibert is president of OTHR (Association for Repatriated Haitian Workers), a small humanitarian organization based on the work of few volunteers which sustains and and cares for Haitian families expelled from Dominican Republic. The association was able to set up a dedicated area in the border city of Ouanaminthe with hundreds of houses to allocate the repatriated families. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/fb67ef15fb33d5e1dbe58e7a7c0f401d_hd.jpg 2017 | Ouanaminthe [Haiti] The interior of one of the small houses which accomodate hundreds of families of repatriated Haitians in Village des Oliviers, in the border city of Ouanaminthe. It is estimated that there are about 2000 people living in the area, including both people forcedly deported and those who left DR voluntarily for unbearable harassments, intimidations and racial discrimination. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/5a45b9aacf21f946ec46444c2c40e44e_hd.jpg 2017 | Batey La Luisa Prieta [Dominican Republic] An official document as a birth certificate generally allowed Haitians and Dominicans of Haitian descend to be registered as Dominican nationals in the civil registries. The Naturalization and Regularization plan launched in 2013 gave migrants who were born outside the Dominican Republic a 2-years period to register for legal resident status through a process that will finally end, after many deadline extensions, on June 2018. More than 288000 people, almost entirely Haitians, have applied, but many lacked documents to prove their country of origin. Those who are deemed ineligible could be deported, the Dominican government still maintaining the right to define its deportation policy. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/dc08e89a486e0e55bb4a35deb68dfbf6_hd.jpg 2017 | Ouanaminthe [Haiti] Antonio J., a volunteer for OTHR, showing on his smartphone the image of a young haitian boy stoned to death on the Haitian/Dominican border just a couple of days before.

Twice a week, in the afternoons before market days, Haitians coming from all over the country start to gather in small groups in the city park and near the old river bridge looking for ways to blend in the throng of Haitians who will cross the border into Dajabon the next morning for the market. They usually rely on the help of smugglers, who every day take people across secretly in the night or even in plain sight of the border authorities for a fee. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/9357d6687bbb5a75abf4a62c46ec738d_hd.jpg 2017 | Ouanaminthe [Haiti] Jean Rosevald, 60 y.o., has worked his whole life as a “cañero”, a sugar cane cutter in the batey Naranjo, a few tens of km from Santo Domingo. A work accident made him loose one of his eyes but- he says- the sugar company didn’t recognize him any refund nor helped him with medical care. At present the people living there and in most of the other bateyes remaining in the country are no longer working in cane fields, as most of the plantations have been abandoned or sold to multinational corporations. Most of the Haitians and Dominicans of Haitian descent owing valid documents, although sometimes struggling to find a job and an income, are still living in these clusters, separated from urban areas and other Dominican villages. Jean is still waiting to receive his ‘cedula’, the Dominican ID. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/2ab1d05caec4975b9c8b44c1dc9ef569_hd.jpg 2017 | Ouanaminthe [Haiti] https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/74bc070cfe4d78d56bda56c3229bb730_hd.jpg 2017 | Ouanaminthe [Haiti] A young boy trying to fix the sheet metal roof of the small house he’s living in with is family. His father used to work on road maintenance in DR, but after many years of abuse by his employers, who regularly did’t pay him just because he was Haitian, decided to voluntarily leave the Dominican Republic for Haiti and settle in Village des Oliviers. All the houses there have been built for repatriated families by the work of a group of volunteers, without any help from the government nor the municipality of Ouanaminthe except for granting the land itself. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/8b945a833bd2e9a0185c581ae2f31b5a_hd.jpg 2017 | Ouanaminthe [Haiti] https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/7276237be75a926d1fbd659efb442b6a_hd.jpg 2017 | Batey Naranjo [Dominican Republic] https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/cd232e9214da0928c622adbf65eafce1_hd.jpg 2017 | Batey Naranjo [Dominican Republic] David and Violetta came from Haiti to Batey La Victoria, Santo Domingo, at the end of 1988.

He owns a regular passport, although he is still waiting for the visa sticker. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/045c8cb09fa175ca13f7005261472005_hd.jpg 2017 | Ouanaminthe [Haiti] A spring of parsley recalling the brutal “massacre of perejil”, during which up to 30000 Haitians were murdered by Trujillo’s army just because of their darker skin colour. The killings were carried out simply on the basis of a linguistic test, used to distinguish between Haitians and Dominicans. Since the Spanish “r” is difficult to pronounce in Haitian Kreyol, the victims were just asked to repeat the word perejil (parsely) to mark their insider (Dominican) or outsider (Haitian) status, and if they didn’t succeeded, they were executed. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/8ee9536ede39df7aae2cefe277c00bbf_hd.jpg 2017 | Ouanaminthe [Haiti] A scar marking the body of Joanna, a woman who has been working in Santiago, DR as a street vendor for several years. The woman reports she was beaten by a group of Dominicans in the batey where she was living without no reasons, so decided to move back to Haiti fearing a worsening of the situation. “Eventhough there is no work here and we struggle to make our living- she says- this is our land, and these is our people, we can feel safe here”. Some friends of Joanna report they have been directly attacked by Dominican hustlers and bandits even if they had their visa and ID, and have been forced to leave all their belongings and flee immediately. Others, without documents, were taken forcedly, crammed on a truck and brought to the border, while their homes and their belongings were destroyed, to make sure they didn’t have anything to come back for. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/e282559e8184827a0e23ff3d56f0123e_hd.jpg 2017 | Ouanaminthe [Haiti] The open landfill crossed by the path that leads to the dismissed checkpoint over the river Massacre, where people gather and wait for the night to come in order to cross the border illegally. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/5a07730e729a369c5f409392e8fdd236_hd.jpg 2017 | Ouanaminthe [Haiti] People coming and going from and to the bi-national market held each monday and friday at the border between the two cities of Ouanaminthe and Dajabon. The Ouanaminthe/Dajabon check-point is one of the main four borders between Haiti and D.R., but there are no migratory control booths or a detectable passport control during market days. In this occasion thousands of Haitians walk the bridge over the Masacre river or just cross its shallow waters with products in their hands or over their heads, without any specific control from the authorities. Many people take advantage of the loose controls during market hours to cross the border and enter D.R without ia visa. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/782eee4412be04698c810406a0771552_hd.jpg 2017 | Ouanaminthe [Haiti] The former checkpoint on the dismissed bridge over the river Massacre dividing the two cities of Ouanaminthe and Dajabon, on the Haitian and Dominican side respectively.

Jesula, young mother of 3 children, was working near Santiago (D.R.) as a vendor when she was suddently caught by Dominican guards and put on a truck to be repatriated. In the past she used to go regularly to D.R and back to Haiti on a monthly basis with her parents since she was 2 y.o., to sell blankets and towels, but after that episode she decided to never go back and settled in Haiti. Her husband was working in D.R. just as she did, but he never returned home from his last trip. Jesula never knew what happened to him. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/e0425a9c4d34418f401fb6db8022336e_hd.jpg 2017 | Ouanaminthe [Haiti] Marilia is a widow living in Village des Oliviers with her 5 children and grandchildren.

Then he turned to agricultural labor when the company he was working for closed its activity in that area. He took advantage of the Naturalization Program decreed in 2014 and now owns a regular cedula, thanks to the support of the activist Jesus Nuñez, who helped hundreds of Haitians in the same conditions to get their regular documents. In June 2018 the extended deadline given for the registration will finally expire, and still no one knows what will happen to unregistered migrants after that. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/1bc160f7989f781e8793a4af0433a9f9_hd.jpg https://annalisanatalimurri.com/featured-1/then-the-sky-crashed-down-upon-us 2019-10-25 weekly 0.5 https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/85f1cab301930c52ac79f30f2539f590_hd.jpg 2014 | Savar, Dhaka [Bangladesh] There are still many victims whose bodies were never found.

The day of the collapse is still stuck in their memories. "Everything was vibrating, it was like a sudden earthquake, there was dust and smoke everywhere", says Md.

His physical injuries are healing, but that accident still has a strong impact on his mental state. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/36245938568f6c72b438ea6067fd2c29_hd.jpg 2014 | Savar, Dhaka [Bangladesh] A woman holding her sister's working card, ascertaining she was working at Rana Plaza.

"She was neither 18 - he says - thus she even had to lie about her age to be taken as a seamstress. She was working to provide our family some money, I'm not able to be consoled".

They are all severely injured and unable and unwilling to return to the garments factories for employment, therefore they are receiving various forms of training including sewing, electric and electronic works or business management. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/8b3247f5c9398e633fce9714072604d8_hd.jpg 2014 | Savar, Dhaka [Bangladesh] Few no-profit organizations are still following psychologically traumatized survivors, helping with group counceling and enlisting them to rehabilitation programs. However, the issue is still largely understimated. Most of the rescue teams involved in the first aids did not have any psychological experts, which might have led to a superficial and incorrect identification of traumatised people. Traumatised patients indeed, according to a study conducted by different NGOs, if not taken care on an emergency basis can end to exhibit longer term psychological disorders or psychosocial disabilities. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/781d4295adfb49e7c7fa01e1f2bcc9e9_hd.jpg 2014 | Savar, Dhaka [Bangladesh] A man with his daughters wandering through the ruins of Rana Plaza, in Savar. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/90a411bc070963f60974ca08ac29acfc_hd.jpg 2014 | Savar, Dhaka [Bangladesh] Aklima (28), a surviving victim in Bank Colony hit by a severe post-traumatic syndrome.

For all of them is barely impossible to return to their normal lives, as most are facing insomnia, memory losses, depression, flashbacks, fear, sadness, depression, panick attacks and disorientation. The government ensured it will take a two-year plan
to grant psychological treatments for the survivors to ease their distress and trumatic memory of the tragedy. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/fedb38a818f114a11a15dfafdca8f314_hd.jpg 2014 | Savar, Dhaka [Bangladesh] Jamila undergoes a session of psychological suppor, trying to make sense of what happened and start thinking to resume her life https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/a5926b835f2866c054898553cdd148eb_hd.jpg 2014 | Savar, Dhaka [Bangladesh] Arati Bala Das, 18, is struggling to forget that day.

The rescue workers managed to save her, but they had to amputate her leg. Arati's life from that moment underwent a drastic change. She received some money compensation from the government, which also took charge of her artificial limb, but this doesn't seem to relieve her pain. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/c3148392a3656c8cee1d79cc7d2b3425_hd.jpg 2014 | Savar, Dhaka [Bangladesh] Aklima is mother of three children, one of wich is only few months old.

She confesses that many times she feels lost and bewildered, as her senses were no longer connected with reality. "But I want to get rid of my fears and all that nightmares. I just want a normal life for me and my children, I hope someone could give us help and no one will forget about our problems", she says. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/1836cd37df2ab843b06af0f0761905c6_hd.jpg 2014 | Savar, Dhaka [Bangladesh] Memories of that 24th April flood the mind of many survivors like ghosts, it is really hard to drive them away. "When I try to fall asleep all those horrible pictures reappear before my eyes, I still hear voices calling me. Many times I relived the scene when that concrete beam collapsed on my back" (M. Rana, 27). https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/79c32f346c05203c800ffd391e752ff1_hd.jpg 2014 | Savar, Dhaka [Bangladesh] Jamila Begum lost her daughter Shayla (20 yo) in the collapse.

She had to look for a job and a salary after she lost her husband, who was workink at Rana Plaza. She had been looking for him for days after the collapse, then one night - she remembers in tears - she dreamt about him calling her name. "Then I came to know he recommended a colleague laying behind him to tell me he was alive and he would have returned to me. My heart broke when they found his body lifeless after 17 days". Now she tries not to think of anything but take home a salary to grant a future to her son, even if the thought that this might happen again never leaves her. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/7654837718c2774bb15f0eee5e797c5e_hd.jpg 2014 | Savar, Dhaka [Bangladesh] About the project https://annalisanatalimurri.com/featured-1/el-cabanyal 2019-10-25 weekly 0.5 https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/6a871744ef654342ae76905a2ffbd55a_hd.jpg 2016 | Valencia [Spain] El Cabanyal is a neighborhood in the maritime area of Valencia that until recently was threatened by an ambitious urban project, now suspended, that would have involved the demolition of several houses, occupied by people with few resources, mostly of Rumanian or gypsy origin. In this district there are around 300 families belonging to the Gypsy ethnic group (200 Spanish and 100 Romanians, approximately), with an average composition of 5 to 7 people per family nucleus. thus representing about 7% of the total population of the neighborhood. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/5f4a3380c9fc36cd6d5adb0adda7f7cb_hd.jpg 2016 | Valencia (Spain) The building known as El Clot (the hole), standing in the strip of land separating the turistic seafront from the rest of the neighborhood. At present, of the 168 apartments that make up the block, approximately 50 are owned by privates, some of the others have become public ownership, some boarded up, others rented or even occupied. In this context, its inhabitants, mostly gypsies, began to claim themselves as a compact, active and positive community for the neighborhood. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/b84d543bf7c079c2a1de01975906f920_hd.jpg 2016 | Valencia [Spain] A young boy living in El Clot, a massive building with hundreds of popular apartments, mostly occupied by families with low or no incomes, paying a visit to a Rumanian family in the area. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/5231ac877304f062745a1ce4720f9363_hd.jpg 2016 | Valencia [Spain] A young girl standing in front of a ruined houe in the neighborhood. The houses deteriorating with the passing of time is leading to an increasing detachment and indifference of the inhabitants towards their own neighborhood, creating a sort of vicious circle. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/e43fb004a66bb5897f03171779af972c_hd.jpg 2016 | Valencia [Spain] A Rumanian immigrate playing with his children.

The financial aids that the municipality of Valencia has already approved for the reform of El Cabanyal do not involve the houses in this area, because they now almost exclusively belong to the municipal assets, and are occupied by families with no resources. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/040708ae6ecf4b1891444c44bbc3ab06_hd.jpg 2016 | Valencia [Spain] A Rumanian woman living in a small apartment in Cabanyal.

Roma and Rumanians families have always been the main actors of the neighborhood. Among these families, most of them are deeply rooted and integrated in the district, but there are also some who have illegally occupied abandoned homes, who frequently traffic in drugs, those who sometimes do not take their children to school and those who generate problems of coexistence. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/1edd0ca90803ecdbc37320bb8681a5a8_hd.jpg 2016 | Valencia [Spain] Rumanian girls during the pentecostal mass celebration.

It’s been a year and a half since Rita Barberá is no longer the mayor of Valencia, but no signs of improvement could be perceived after twenty years of progressive degradation. Neighbors are living this evolution between the disbelief and hope of having their neighborhood finally rehabilitated, along with the fear of a real estate speculation. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/505d6da87fb51d518f39148d78c0e91a_hd.jpg 2016 | Valencia [Spain] One of the streets in Cabanyal neighborhood with many abandoned and occupied houses. The families settled in the area are not part of an homogeneous community, but they belong to many different ethnic and social groups, being Rumanians emigrants one of the largest group. Some activists defending the rights of El Cabanyal gypsies community say it’s important to stop observing them with that homogenous look, based on the idea of rejection, which is cause of prejudices. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/10a64af8c0bb31f76801940f04030615_hd.jpg 2016 | Valencia [Spain] Two young Romanian women while doing some houseworks in the house they share along with their husbands and children. Many people living in the area of Cabanyal do not have enough qualification for other jobs rather than scrap recycling and the unemployment rate in the neighborhood is around one-third of the active population. Such statistic is compounded by a very significant unemployment rate among young women. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/5eaec1c3a9b71ce0f34c40823efecaa4_hd.jpg 2016 | Valencia [Spain] A car crossing the ground area near El Clot. At present, some of the social housing areas in the maritime district have been rehabilitated but many of them continue to be stigmatized as associated with episodes of urban and social conflict, and seen as a problem of difficult solution that is not worth facing. Among the inhabitants of the area, it’s common opinion that the abandonment of the neighborhood over the last years has been a strategy of the government, who did not impede and even promoted the degradation process of the district, in order to trigger a sort of self-destruction process. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/b5ca775041daf54be1c2d8533f82a3c6_hd.jpg 2016 | Valencia [Spain] An apartment furnished with the bare minimum, occupied by a gypsy family. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/f98ae31b06317974711253430b741e25_hd.jpg 2016 | Valencia [Spain] Marta climbing the narrow stairs leading to the apartment where she lives with her Rumanian family, including her uncles and cousins. As most of the families which came to Valencia from Romania to work, they face enormous dificulties to integrate within the Spanish society, mostly because of widespread prejudices.

Despite the efforts of ‘Salvem El Cabanyal’, the platform that led almost twenty years of resistance against the eviction and the destruction of the neighborhood, the ‘ground zero’ area of El Cabanyal district is still an amalgam of semi-ruined houses, occupied houses (by families with no resources) and abandoned lots as a trail of demolitions of yesteryear. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/e0e51ec55ee1fe74bf7cbb11e2636f8e_hd.jpg 2016 | Valencia [Spain] Young children left on their own to roam in the streets of the neighborhood. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/d2d3028dac2502327dd2961379620d84_hd.jpg 2016 | Valencia [Spain] Angelica came from Romania with her family to Valencia, and settled in a small apartment in Cabanyal district, along with other families in the same conditions. In spite of the advances in the process of integration of the gypsy community in the Spanish society, the majority of them live below the average standards of life of the rest of the Valencian citizens and suffer from a problem that prevents them from leaving their situation of exclusion. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/cb50a9eb7e85c3baeaa4702442b100c3_hd.jpg 2016 | Valencia [Spain] A woman dressed in mourning, belonging to the gypsy community, discussing with a boy in the courtyard in front of El Clot, a few dozen meters from the seafront and its luxury hotels. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/6f3d1ebfa6dafba9bcb99839f3e022d5_hd.jpg 2016 | Valencia [Spain] A young girl during the mass celebration in the pentecostal church, a salon obtained in the ground floor of a tpical house in the district.

Spanish gypsies tries to take the distances as much as possible from the Romanian population, as there is a clear stigmatization of Romanian gypsies among the Spanish society.

I couldn’t see the houses, but I was able to see the Malecon, lights shining, wide roads…I was approaching a new life that was about to start. I can’t explain that feeling…But maybe in that moment I understood...I was with my family, united and ready to start our new life in a different country". https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/0c9938e5cadd957511353ebf60705306_hd.jpg 2015 | Alamar, Ciudad de La Habana [Cuba] A view of the Soviet-style residence blocks in Alamar, La Havana. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/49050/de9cb566207e0d67423e76262ccc5994_hd.jpg 2015 | Holguin [Cuba] Nadia arrived in Cuba from Russia. It was June 1986. She lives alone in Holguin. "The problem for me was that I got pregnant before getting married. And a lonely mother was not highly regarded among the Russian society.

Since the 1990s, organizations working to promote the rights of hijras in Bangladesh have highlighted their significant social and economic exclusion, often linked to high levels of violence, familial rejection, police harassment and, above all, their reliance on sex work. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/eb2c2ff35e96787aa9dda9569fb11453_hd.jpg 2012 | Dhaka [Bangladesh] Mahi, 37 years old.

As outcasts in society, the number of hijras who have turned to prostitution has risen dramatically. This is possibly partly the result of a high demand for hijra sex workers by male clientele. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/71ebf2b304687d4d3fc47d761c6197a8_hd.jpg 2012 | Dhaka [Bangladesh] Guru Sheela's cheelas walking the streets of the neighborhood to collect money from the villagers.

Much of their skills in song, dance and other creative arts, comes from the fact that hijras typically live together in large groups overseen by a leader called Guru. This is not necessarily a choice, but the only option for them as outcasts. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/34bfef4ad2e6e2ffedf30a1b865ef0cf_hd.jpg 2012 | Dhaka [Bangladesh] Hijras of guru Sweety's community playing sex.
