The Anti-Duvalier protest movement was a series of demonstrations in Haiti from 23 May 1984 to 7 February 1986 that led to the overthrow of President Jean-Claude Duvalier and the Duvalier dynasty regime and the readoption of the original flag and coat of arms of the country.
The protests were sparked by economic hardship, and widespread human rights abuses, the protests marked a significant turning point in Haitian political history. Duvalier fled into exile on 7 February 1986, ending nearly three decades of dynastic rule by the Duvalier family and paving the way for a new transitional government.
