Last summer’s protests over fuel price increases in Haiti have grown into full-fledged movement against government corruption and impunity continuing into 2019. BAI has been fighting the causes of the current unrest since its inception.

We advocate for just U.S. immigration policy for Haitians, including advocacy for TPS recipients. Our Haiti Asylum Information Project provides asylum applicants the resources they need to present strong cases.

We fight for justice for victims of the UN’s cholera epidemic in Haiti, amplify Haitian efforts by pursuing a lawsuit against the UN in U.S. Federal Court, and lead a vast international cholera justice network pressing for UN accountability.

The Rape Accountability & Prevention Project builds the knowledge, experience and skill of Haitian rape victims and their allies to fight for justice in and out of court, and the ability of police, lawyers and judges to respond justly to sexual violence.

BAI gets Haitian activists and lawyers out of jail, defends them in court and gets the word out to Haitian media. IJDH leverages international advocacy and media to increase protection of these advocates by taking the cases to international courts and forums as needed.

As part of the progressive international Bertha Justice Network, BAI and IJDH provide 2-year apprenticeships to prepare the next generation of public interest lawyers to fight for justice in Haiti.
