Sonia Pierre
Solange Pierre (1963 – December 4, 2011), known as Sonia Pierre, was a human rights advocate in the Dominican Republic who worked to end ''antihaitianismo'', which is discrimination against individuals of Haitian origin either born in Haiti or in the Dominican Republic.〔("A Rights Advocate's Work Divides Dominicans" ) by Marc Lacey, The New York Times, September 29, 2007.〕 For this work, she won the 2006 Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award.〔("DOMINICAN BORN HAITIAN RIGHTS ACTIVIST WINS 2006 RFK HUMAN RIGHTS AWARD" ) Press Release, RFK Memorial Center, accessed Sept. 28, 2007.〕
Pierre was born in Villa Altagracia, San Cristóbal, Dominican Republic, in 1963 to parents of Haitian origin (her mother migrated with a temporary work permit in 1957, and her father entered the Dominican territory illegally). One of twelve children,〔("Activist Sonia Pierre Receives RFK Award" ) by Andrew Miga, The Associated Press, printed in the Washington Post, Nov. 17, 2006.〕 she was raised in a migrant worker camp called a ''batey'', where many of the Dominican Republic's people of Haitian descent live. Her birth certificate lists her name as Solain Pie, which Pierre "says is the result of an error by a government clerk."〔 Her nationality was disputed by the ' on the grounds that her birth certificate is forged, the residence status of her Haitian parents and the lack of evidenciary documentation from Haiti.〔〔〔("Jurista asegura Sonia Pierre no es dominicana" ''Dominican jurist affirms that Solange Pierre is not Dominican" ) by Antonio Santana. 2010-03-11 dominicanoshoy.com〕
At the age 14, she organized a five-day protest by sugar cane workers on one of the country's bateyes, which led to her being arrested. However, the protest attracted enough public attention that the workers' demands—namely, to have their living quarters painted and be given better tools and pay raises—were met.〔("Dominican-born Sonia Pierre Wins Amnesty International's 2003 Human Rights Award for Working for Her People" ) by Tequila Minsky, April 2003, Haitian Support Group website, accessed Sept. 29, 2007.〕
