Las iniciativas asociativas haitianas en Ecuador hay que verlas dentro del contexto generado por el terremoto del año 2010 en Haití. Se trata de una población que se ha visto forzada a migrar, pero que no se la considera dentro de los parámetros de protección de acuerdo a la Convención sobre el Estatuto de los Refugiados de 1951, por lo que permanecen en situación de desprotección por su irregularidad migratoria. En este contexto, hay dos asociaciones haitianas en Quito que han jugado un importante rol especialmente en el ámbito de la asesoría y comunicación, tornándose en espacios de participación cívica. Al ser iniciativas asociativas débiles, peligran su existencia al contar con pocas redes de apoyo institucional.
The Haitian associative initiatives in Ecuador have to be seen within the context generated by the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. This is a population that has been forced to migrate, but it is not considered within the parameters of protection under the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees (1951), so they are left in lack of protection due to their irregular migration. In this context, two Haitian associations in Quito have played an important role especially in the field of counseling and communication, becoming spaces for civic engagement. Being weak associative initiatives, their existence is at risk by having scarce institutional support networks.
