Ministry of Women faces backlash over social media post

Santo Domingo.- A post by the Ministry of Women on Instagram is causing a stir on social media due to an image of two Afro-descendant women, described by users as Haitian.

"Para mí son dominicanas" dice Paliza sobre las fotos utilizadas por Ministerio de la Mujer
