The Availability of Interpretation Services in Immigration Courts: The New Target of the Trump Administration

The Trump administration via the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) recently rescinded a 2023 memorandum that regulated access to language services for migrants who do not speak English in immigration courts. This measure could have significant repercussions on the rights of non-English speakers facing legal proceedings in the United States. The revoked directive, known as DM 23-02, was implemented…

White South Africans Reject Donald Trump’s Offer to Emigrate to the United States

The Afrikaners (white South Africans) were quick to reject Donald Trump's offer to emigrate to the United States under a humanitarian program. President Donald Trump had recently signed an executive order allowing Afrikaners to settle in the United States as refugees, claiming that they are victims of racial discrimination in South Africa.

International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, Biphobia and Lesbophobia: The Collectif Haïtien d’Aide et d’Appui à l’émancipation sociale CHAAPES organized a conference debate around the theme of the year “Our Bodies, Our Lives, Our Rights On the occasion of the International Day against Homophobia, Transphobia, Biphobia and Lesbophobia on May 17, the Haitian Collective for Assistance and Support to Social Emancipation CHAAPES organized, this Saturday, May 21, 2022, a conference-debate around the theme of the year “Our Bodies, Our Lives, Our Rights”. Three speakers including Raissa Seisha Dubouquet, nurse, Wilky Bien Aimé psychologist and Wendy Cernéus social worker exchanged with about twenty participants: homosexuals and guests. Discussions focused on discrimination, stigmatization and different forms of violence that the LGBT+ community in Haiti may face due to the norms and values established by society. “Where I live, every time I walk into the yard, people line up to make fun of me,” said one participant. These kinds of behaviors towards homosexuals are part of the verbal violence evoked by Wendy CERNÉUS, a social worker. In his intervention, he identifies three types of violence: verbal, physical and psychological. The last one, he says, is the most powerful because it can lead to suicide. Wilcky Bien-Aimé, a psychologist with more than 4 years of experience working with the LGBT+ community, talks about the disastrous consequences of discrimination and stigmatization of the key population. Discriminating against a gay person can impact their personal, relational and professional life, the psychologist lists. “The stigmatized person can feel inferior, humiliated, rejected, etc.,” continues Mr. Beloved, before adding that everyone is free to live their lives regardless of their sexual orientation. Created in 2016 in Petionville, since 2019, the Collectif Haïtien d’Aide et d’Appui à l’Émancipation Sociale CHAAPES, works with the key population in the department of Artibonite, including gender professionals, PLHIV. Unlike other departments, Artibonite is the department where the LGBT+ community experiences less violence according to Steeven JEANGILLES executive coordinator of CHAAPES. “If we talk about verbal violence, yes there is a lot of it but physical violence we don’t see very often” he adds. For the execution of the different projects, the Collectif Haïtien d’Aide et d’Appui à l’Emancipation Sociale receives financial support from FOSREF. If we continue to grow and improve the quality of our services, it is thanks to the collaboration of FOSREF with whom we currently have three projects underway, including PEPFAR, Global HIV Fund and COVID-19. Action citoyenne pour l’égalité sociale en Haïti (ACESH), Association pour lutter contre l’homophobie (APLCH) and Collectif Haïtien d’Aide et d’Appui à l’Émancipation Sociale (CHAAPES) are the three LGBT+ associations present in the department of Artibonite that advocate for the emancipation and respect of this community.
