the necessary measures to ensure equal access to essential social services and did not comply with the recommendation to guarantee the enjoyment of the rights to health and education of children and adolescents affected by the ruling. VII. Anti-immigrant hatred and criminalisation of undocumented people 30. Since the last cycle, there has been an increase in hate speech against Haitian migrants and their descendants.145 This racism has translated into acts of violence and discrimination by private actors, particularly ultranationalist groups, fuelled by decisions and statements by public authorities.146 Ultranationalist political actors consider immigration a danger to Dominican identity.147 For example, a mayor described Haitian immigration as an “existential threat” and the Minister of the Interior and Police stated that Haiti is the main threat to the country.148 Similar statements stigmatize migrants of Haitian origin, legitimize acts of rejection against them, and have a special gravity on children and adolescents.149 31. People of Haitian origin and the organisations and people who stand in solidarity with them have been victims of acts of rejection, threats and violence.150 After a public call by the DGM not to rent homes to people in an irregular immigration situation,151 cases of evictions of people of Haitian origin were documented.152 In August 2022, ultranationalist sectors organised a march against Haitian immigration.153 In Puerto Plata in October 2022, several residences of Haitian migrants were burned and hundreds of families had to flee after an attack by Dominican people who suspected a Haitian man of a homicide.154 Similar events occurred in March 2021 in the province of Independencia.155 Threats, acts of violence and lynchings of people of Haitian origin go unpunished and this lack of state response contributes to the cycle of violence and hatred against them,156 with a significant impact on children and adolescents. 32. Likewise, CSOs defending the rights of stateless people and migrants of Haitian origin have been the target of threats, persecution and attacks by ultranationalist groups and state authorities.
