Haiti questions the findings of Walk Free Foundation’s report on child labor and human trafficking
The government of Haiti has signed an important adoption law to regulate the process for adoption nationally and internationally, assuring that Haitian children are placed with good families. We have worked with international partners such as International Organization for Migration (IOM) and UNICEF to develop an anti-human trafficking bill, which now requires only Senate ratification. When this bill becomes law it will also mandate an inter-ministerial working group on human trafficking and a national plan of action on the issue.
We urge international organizations such as the Walk Free Foundation to assist Haiti in the development of serious data collection that could assist in not only measuring our initiatives but that also reflects the spectrum of child related situations and movement in Haiti. As Haiti advances in the development of its social programs, we remain committed to the eradication of all forms of child labor and human trafficking.
