200words of Haiti


In Haiti, Kids are not treated equal that is why Children rights are suffering right now. The problems in Haiti, are mortality rate, health care, survival, education and exploitation. Only 1 of every 14 kids will survive . Haiti voted Rene Preval their new president in hope of change. Preval enforced the Political Agenda for Children to attain social reform, improve heath, increase their education, decrease aids and protect children from rape, abuse and exploitation. The president also have been trying to prevent the babies from having aids. The babies born in Haiti are born with Aids and the estimated number is 50000 people. Haiti struggles to achieve Millennium development goals in the areas of child survival, immunization and primary education. Clean water and sanitation is a problem because a lot of children have to find water, and then they purify the water that they found. In desperation parents send their kids to be restaveks and are promised a good life, but often are exposed to exploitation, trafficking, rape and abuse. Some orphans in Haiti are forced into street gangs but some find it access to free food and shelter. In gangs, kids are forced into crimes, raped or abused as revenge to the other gangs, or as punishment for refusal of chores.
