A "restavek" is a term used in Haiti to describe a child who is sent to live with another family, often to work as a domestic servant. This practice typically involves children from impoverished families who hope that their child will receive better care and education in exchange for their labor. Unfortunately, many restavek children face exploitation, abuse, and a lack of access to education. The restavek system is a complex issue tied to poverty and social inequality in Haiti. Organizations like UNICEF and Human Rights Watch have highlighted the need for reforms to protect these vulnerable children and ensure their rights are upheld. Addressing the root causes of poverty is essential to eliminate the restavek practice.
