Escaping Haiti’s Pregnancy Crisis | Unreported World

Unreported World tracks down the pregnant women fleeing war-torn Haiti who are trying to survive their pregnancies. But in neighbouring Dominican Republic, reporter Guillermo Galdos discovers an immigration crackdown at the doors of its hospitals.
As Haitian gangs try to take over the country, the Caribbean Island’s healthcare system is in a state of collapse, and a woman and child's chances of surviving a pregnancy there are the worst in the Western hemisphere.
To give their babies a better chance at life, thousands of Haitian women a month are giving birth in the Dominican Republic, most of them have crossed over illegally.

Well, I think poor folks forget what it's like to grow up poor as children. For most of us, we don't consciously feel rich or poor when we're kids, we're just living and things SEEM to turn out alright. There are practical reasons in addition to the psychological one I just gave, like having kids to help with labor. And there is a cultural one too, like having kids because you're supposed to and everyone else is getting by so we'll be fine. These aren't justifications just observations 🤷🏾‍♀

What this documentary willingly avoids to mention is that already 1 third of all Dominican births are Haitian. But that is at a national level. If you check by provinces sometimes the Haitian births account for 70 to 80%.... In some localities 100% of the public school children are of undocumented migrant Haitian origin. This kind of documentaries want to paint DR as a rich country that is closing its doors to Haiti... When in fact, what we are doing is what you do when you are reaching your limit. This disingenuous documentaries always start showing the tourism of DR, to manipulate overseas audiences. Does anyone mind to ask first what kind of live standards Dominicans have? DR is not just Santo Domingo nor Santiago... We got poor people too who need help and are being ignored as the resources go to the Haitian migrants due to pressures from the US.....

[@Delrosi]

These* living standards*

[@NyanyiC]

They should think of these babies as an investment - if they take care of them, they will have workers in a few years

[@Delrosi]

@NyanyiC don't you think that is a racist idea? Please do a research on "negreros". Also, that logic is incorrect. The resenment of that orphan population plus the bad conditions DR has even for locals is just the perfect recipe to create violence, crime, import diseases, and a population that will try to destabilize the DR. DR does not have the enough amount of resources that are needed to properly assimilate that big number of people...

[@NyanyiC]

@@Delrosi I understand your point of view and I meant it in the best possible way because I feel the kids are better off in DR than in Haiti. I thinking of it in the way of migration not colonialism or slavery. Angela Merkel once suggested the same for the EU in light of the falling birthrates

[@Delrosi]

@@NyanyiC Sure, see how much "good" multiculturalism has brought to France or Sweden... What about importing ethnic rivalries such as the Hindu and the Sikh in Canada? just to cite an example. In the case of DR and Haiti, it is way much more complex, as both nations have incompatible identities. We have from both sides, historical wounds that have not healed, let alone the difference in language, idiosyncrasy, culture, religion, and many more. But the biggest difference of all is that the elite from Haiti does NOT want to be ruled by Dominicans nor Dominicans want to be ruled by Haitians. We got independent for a reason. Haiti needs to be fixed in Haiti, not in DR.

[@user-bn8qf9sb2c]

If the so called international community really cared about Hatians they would get rid of the gangs in one day and build schoools, hospitals etc., instead of blaming the DR where Hatian women consume 35% of the national healthcare budget.

I suggest you call your senators and congress representatives in your state, and ask them to provide legislation to accept more Haitian refugees. The Dominican people already help more than all others countries combined, and taxpayers can’t afford to take in thousands or more. It’s very difficult to see children caught up in the Haitian mess. Also lobby your representatives to aid Haiti to establish democracy, and aid to develop the country. Also you can personally contact someone in Haiti and contribute directly to an individual or reorganization which aids pregnant mothers and children.

[@ALTA21]

In the DR they give birth control pills for free, they also pay you to get the IUD, but the distinguished Haitian ladies do not want to accept any family planning, and so they fill up with children, many of them have 7 to 10 children, childbirth is completely out of their hands. free in the DR, besides they do not have any pre-birth control, not to mention that they do not carry clothes for the children or pampers or mada, the Dominican nurses have to go around the room collecting to go out and buy things for those children, and everything comes out of their pocket of us Dominicans

Lovely poignant video, but can’t help but notice how it is tinged heavily with points of propaganda. 1) people entering countries by disregarding borders and checkpoints and without meaningful claims to asylum are illegal immigrants, not migrants. 2) Nation-states are of obligation to its citizens and denizens, not to illegal immigrants. Deporting them, and maintaining borders is normal procedure everywhere in the world, but in the West NGOs and “ academics” pretend it isn’t and that this is evil. The UN chastises these countries, but doesn’t provide any supplementary resources to make these realities feasible, all the whole showing they are not an impartial organization, not very fruitful.

As Haitian, it's sad to see what the people are going through, I've lived in both side of the Island, and I can assure you that things aren't easy for Dominicans either, my family went to DR back in 2010 after the earthquake in Haiti, when they show the DR, they always highlight the tourist side, the beautiful part of it, which would make you think that the country is doing good, unfortunately it's not, they have their own share of problems, insecurity and rise of gang violence, the city where I was raised in the DR now have been constantly under violence of those tigeres and mafiosos. The DR should not be the gateway place, Haiti need a Bukele, we need a crackdown on the violence, people are calling out the Dominicans to not accept Haitians and deport them, however on the south of Haiti where my family is from and the north, they are not accepting people from the west side (port au prince). They fear that the people that are coming from the west are gang related people. Those areas on the south and north are small, everyone know everyone, if you are a stranger, they drag you out. I feel that this documentary was bashing the DR, the DR has always been of help to Haiti, the country is small and in financial problems, they cannot be taking care of their people and the other side of the island. It's not the Dominicans government job, it's the Haitian government job to take care of this issue. If Bukele was able to crackdown on 50+ years gang violence in Salvador, Haiti can do it too.

I am not being judgement towards my people I am included in these statistics I stand as a middle man Haitian government is going to have start providing for their own people in their own country. The DR may possibly start charging the Haitian government for the medical services provided for social service funds for Haitians who are illegal to get their attention. Some do not understand that the funds they are using at these social services in other countries are for the citizens of the country, a lot of them do not have education due to poverty in Haiti and will do anything to get out of Haiti cause there is no economy building . A lot of the men do not like using protection or don’t use it and abandoned their children they give to these woman. I am one of those children who was abandoned by my father, they make a lot of children and do not take care of them sometimes depending on the person if I was born in Haiti I would of been born at my grandfather land in Haiti but instead I was sent legally to another country with my mother who worked her behind off everyday as a single mother to provide. The Haitian government is not giving in. They do not care. The international government system UN needs to question why they are not taking care of their citizens each time money is giving out for Aide?where are the funds going to? What have they done to minimize deportation problems on their end ? They are not doing nothing cause they want out too I wonder if those in the government live outside of Haiti themselves. If I had it my way I am the new generation of Haitians descendants and there is no laws to protect business owners of medical facilities during these violent protests. The Disparors have no voice cause they keep sending them off to other counties,shutting down the economy infrastructures such as schools and medical families and businesses, we do not know the laws and barely speak our languages fluent or even can read. ( I understand creole and some reading but majority abroad do not understand)The government is hiding something from the people and the people think that destroying and killing on their land is going to make them listen when it’s just making things worse for Haitians.

While there is undoubtedly an element of racism over there (documented by countless incidents of abuse towards Haitians), there are thousands of Dominicans in need, and the Dominican government CANNOT provide for their people AND the vast numbers of Haitians that cross their border.

@@lindamorgan7715 Hatian Americans or those living abroad are the ones who can help Haiti have been shut out and the very ones who are living on the island do not want to take care of the island we are also always informed to stay out of Haiti due to safety reasons unfortunately the problem is rooted to the core. Read Below The few drawbacks Haitians abroad are faced with; 1. Those who practice voodoo to harm others they are practicing their craft on their own people so that’s why so many people run out the country. (A lot of Haitians are secretive and jealous and would like to bring others down no matter how kind,nice,successful they are they do not understand if one wins and succeed others can as well put in the work.) 2. A lot of those in powers positions government,police force,Haitian Supreme Court is involved in occult/voodoo members and uses there practices to have there way regardless if they are right or wrong. They will murder you spiritually and with this new generation of Haitians a lot of them do not know about voodoo so they run in fear and also they are not believers in Christianity it does not matter if they are church in Haiti or abroad a lot of them do not have a belief in Christianity and they do not understand the powers of voodoo. 3. Haitians Abroad majority do not speak French Creole fluently so understanding how to speak/read and understand the laws/government will take more than 2-3 years. 4. There are no laws to protect Haitians those who were living or born abroad and come to Haiti to stay long term they kidnap them for money and expect money from them or family members and you will be surprise that their own family members are involved. 5. Business owners/Medical Staff or facilities are constantly fearing for their lives because of the constant kidnapping and violent protesting against those who corrupting the government. Private Practices in the Medical field are there in Haiti which can be costly for health, so if you get shot,rapped you are on your own. The gangs attack the Medical Facilities which bring the economy down. 6. The government in Haiti have some people who are cruel,corrupted and greedy and have fraudulently stolen funds provided international to aide the citizens in need of social services. They do not want no one to know who what and when they will murder you and your family for knowing the truth that they betrayed their own people for money to move themselves,family and businesses abroad or to the upscale parts of Haiti to live how they please. Invested in illegal activities and the list can go on. 7. Development of the country to possibly make it a tourist attraction is slim chance cause everytime someone goes there to open business whether they were born there or not the Haitian people steal,destroy the persons business out of greed and jealousy they do not understand what economic growth is. Stable Businesses = Stable Economy 8. The older generation in Haiti or those born in Haiti do not want to hear what the new generation living abroad have to say when it comes to the country developing or growing. They do not consider us Haitians, they do not think we went through anything worse then them since we are considered to have access to food,electricity,water they do not want to hear the stories of those who have to work paycheck to paycheck to make a living and stay afloat, discrimination,racism and drawbracks we face on constant basis they think we are rich and wealthy when that’s not the truth it’s just we have access to resources. 9. Living with your family in Haiti is not advisable for long term due to cultural differences you will be surprised of the stories of secrets,incest, betrayal,abuse,emotional abuse, power and dominance,your own family looks down on you and talk bad about you cause your not considered a real Haitian which can lead to depression/stress/mental health issues and those living abroad are not the same as those who was born and raised in Haiti. Those living abroad should have their own place to stay and of course electricity and plumbing is what they would prefer but the price of staying in a place like America in Haiti is in USD up to $1000-2000.00 USD for rent per month and they do not let you pay month to month you have to pay in full for the whole year and a lot of those living abroad can not afford that, Haitians in Haiti do not think Haitians abroad face uncertainty at all until they move abroad themselves. Schedules those abroad are majority in school full time and /or working they are providing for themselves and family for their location abroad with no interest to go back to Haiti Economy . Some Work full time paycheck to paycheck/debt on their own unless they live with their family. If they are wealthy some do not have problems in Haiti but very little interest in staying and developing. Busy schedules abroad and financial issues is something they face too. 10. You can not trust no family members,government,police force anybody with any plans/money/land/business cause they are either uneducated,greedy corrupted in some way so your life is constantly living in fear of what might happen to you. 11. Regardless who is in leadership in the government all Haitians want out and do not want to take care of the country there is garbage everywhere on the island because the people are telling the government they will not take care of the island for them any longer,they do not understand economically there still needs to be growth and opportunities for others who do want to help in Haiti a difference is not overnight business owners help with developing the country but they don’t see that. 12. Funding, Security is not there and so Haitians abroad just grows accustom to their lives abroad, some do want to give back, build,help,some do not want to go back and turn their backs and never return. 13. Mental Illnesses some Haitians abroad faces mental breakdowns,schezeprnia,mental disorders and do not know the signs earlier on and it stems from generational heritage and can come from abuse or the lack of no one taking them to therapy when emotional issues or stress occurs. No body wants to stay cause again there is something rooted in Haitians that are evil who do practices to kill each other for things that don’t matter and won’t last forever,there is no accountability, so they all want out and move abroad hoping for better lives. There is no stable jobs,businesses,healthcare,sex education/family planning, no social services ,no development,education,housing,schooling,enforcement of laws, ect and no signs showing progress. The list can go on and on but it’s not as easy as you think you also have to know the land cause you never know what can happen.

Who would believe that Haiti was once the most wealthy Caribbean Island before the USA destroyed its infra structure. The USA prohibited them from growing rice to avoid competition with their own rice production. They reduced them to a Banana Republic. Also, Haiti, under pressure from the USA had to pay France an egregious sum because they liberated their people from slavery and the French slave owners demanded reparation due to loss of earnings from the lack of slave labour!

so much misinformation here first of all Haiti committed genocide that’s why they had to pay back the money and rightfully so also the claims you’re making are exaggerated. America also gave a lot to Haiti in charitable aid and other resources. I do think the Clinton foundation caused problems to the island, but most of their problems are self-inflicted, no they were never wealthy. They had terrible leadership and dictators since they’re founding.

Stop lies. The french colony was rich, no Haiti. Once africans took over the land, it was the end of wealth.

How about fix Haiti, fix the Haitian medical system so that they can be proud to live in their country. Why doesn’t Europe take them or the U.S.? They have massive territories and money…

[@starlight_44]

full everyone is full 🤔 and sick & tired of supporting illegals on their tax $$$, that's their attitude in Europe and U.S, many other western nations.

[@randombro89]

there’s too many here already. We already have an immigration crisis in our countries. They should go back to Haiti and fix Haiti

[@kapillantigua1504]

They don't want.

[@OmEvul1415]

Absolutely not. It's up to the Haitian people to solve ALL of THEIR problems by THEMSELVES.

Knowing how painful and life threatening a uti can be, i can't imagine not being able to access basic health care for antibiotics. Its amazing because we se this as poor but once upon the time the community would have had it's own medical practices to help aod common infection such as a uti. Before foreign involvement ofcourse.

No matter what part of the world your in why are you having unprotected sex when you can't even take care of yourself? Seems as though contraceptives' and education would help improve the situation in DR and Haiti.

[@deerobinson4497]

I totally agree with you.

[@teslainthehood2521]

Why keep trying to go to the DR if it’s that bad for them? You can’t go to your neighbors house in demand they give you their room and their food and their money. Specially, if you’ve already tried to break in before and take over their house. It’s Sad but they to fix Haiti instead of leaving. Haiti has parts that aren’t under gang control.
