Red Común Nacional Organizada de Ciudadanos/as Dominicanos/as (RECONOCI.DO)

The RECONOCI.DO Movement is an independent national civic network, made up mainly of Dominicans of Haitian descent, which is autonomous, pluralistic, and secular. Structured around local and regional territories, it promotes human rights and aspires to the real, full, and effective integration of Dominicans of Haitian descent into Dominican society. It has its own legal personality.

Reconoci.do is an anti-racist Dominican social movement founded in 2011 that promotes the recognition of nationality, equal rights, justice, and the full exercise of human rights, especially for Dominicans of Haitian descent and other historically marginalized communities. Its work focuses on defending the right to nationality, social inclusion, citizen participation, and the eradication of structural discrimination and racism.

The movement emerged in response to the crisis of denationalization and statelessness caused by discriminatory policies and judicial decisions that stripped thousands of people born in the country of their nationality, documentation, and legal recognition as citizens. Since then, Reconoci.do has led political advocacy, education and empowerment, legal support and strategic litigation, and social mobilization efforts to raise awareness of this situation, accompany those affected, and promote lasting solutions.

Its main lines of action include defending the right to nationality, access to essential public services, investigating and documenting cases of statelessness, promoting human rights, and training and empowering community leaders. It also promotes public advocacy campaigns and strategic alliances with national and international organizations, human rights bodies, and United Nations agencies to advance the restoration of rights.

Reconoci.do combines community-based activism with political coordination, strengthening the role of affected communities and contributing to the construction of a more just, inclusive, and stateless-free Dominican society.
