Know Your Rights: A Self-Advocacy Video for Haitian Asylum-Seekers

An Kreyòl

Haitian Women for Haitian Refugees’ Know Your Rights video is co-produced by Barnard Center for Research on Women, with extensive collaboration and support from Take Root Justice. This project is a self-advocacy resource for refugees navigating asylum or attempting to access formal immigration status after crossing the U.S./Mexico border without authorization. Take Root Justice and HWHR worked together to create a short, comprehensive script based on the in-person workshops they have offered over the past several years. To center language justice, the video was produced in both Kreyòl and English, with presenters who have first-hand knowledge of the barriers Haitian asylum seekers currently face.
