The problem of Hyiti

Preval, the president of Haiti issued the Agenda for children, which was made to solve the problems of Children being neglected the most basic needs for survival, and rights.

Several Haitian children run among the streets, without any food, water, or shelter. They join local gang members, in hopes of getting food, shelter, protection, and reputation. Gangs take advantage of this by using them to do crimes, or fight rival gangs. Girls are used for prostitution, and rival gang members rape them to show reprisal.

Parents who don’t have enough money to feed the children sell their children to other wealthier men, in hope that their children will be sent somewhere better, and receive an education. The children are, instead worked like slaves. Countless number of children are trafficked to Dominic Republic.

Health is another big issue in Haiti. The hospitals are expensive, and their equipments are at the least seriously lacking. Child mortality of Haiti is 19% of its region, when the Haiti’s birth rate is 2%. Immunization is nearly nonexistent, and children have nutrition deficiency. Access to clean water and sanitation is rare.

For Prival, time is running out to complete his Agenda for Children.
