As an Haitian woman and a child advocate, I don't mean to legalize "Restavek" as a form of slavery.
By analyzing the situation, it will be very difficult to eliminate it . However, it can be controlled. A NGO can be in charge , not necessarily the police forces.
About family planning , we have one of the highest rate of infant mortality and morbidity and poor quality of life. It’s not about race but survival .
I do believe that we are sovereign nation and strong citizens. Nonetheless, we do need to act positively and with solidarity in order to progress!
Thanks. Denise
