12:35 pm
i'm going to a problem floated why then do i want. you now feel that i will know you want us to leave he what they really want to see is that the bad. news was they want this that is above it. feel. to me 2 hours flight away from the beaches of florida and yet it's the poorest country in the caribbean and off the decades of ruin a stick to the ship and crushing poverty thousands of haitian families have been forced to place many of their children into a system that's led to the abuse and exploitation this system is called rest of it . rest effect was some say a system with good intent that when the. rest of a children were typically those born into the poorest the families in rural haiti
12:36 pm
was sent to wealthier families in cities in the hope that they would get an education and a better life. the reality is that it has always been open to abuse and today up 222-5000 children here a little bit and how slaves. have you know that it is. but how in a country that prides itself on being founded by slaves who rose up against a colonial masters could child slavery become so endemic. it is that you see only. who shot. poor libyan is this rather. this is this clever this they soon leave now. oh or boards you really you know 12 for this crap huge deal for the beastie city.
12:37 pm
and that is 11 years old. her life was changed dramatically for the worse by the earthquake. last. night. but annette had already been robbed of a normal family upbringing. she was just 8 years old when she went to live with her aunt in the country's capital also promised. she did receive some schooling in the afternoons but her working day typically began at 3 or 4 in the morning. at nights she slept on concrete. and the days were filled with threats of violence hanging over her. nose and gunfire lives in consumer. markets.
12:38 pm
and that's arms had a boyfriend who is a policeman but this offer had no protection. plan or file for now. that we know. that we're playing well you know file i'm going to clear cause i'm going to focus on them confide. in my invisible god where. they come to me. and that's experiences as a rest of act are far from unique. and beyond the violence is something i have to see even worse but the overwhelming sense according to writer and former rest of it back a day of a lost family life. it's like living in a family. but you're not part of the family it's like living in a home it's not your home because you know eventually they're going to tell you to
12:39 pm
get out it's living in fear fear of fear of adult and fear of the unknown the unknown is the future because you here today you don't know if you going to be with that family tomorrow every. rest of action is a word rarely spoken publicly in haiti today. it has become almost a forbidden subject talked about only by those who campaign to stop it. why are people so reluctant even to use the word starving it's in haiti and why. people don't want to talk about it exactly because also good says look if you want. enough. faith i want to. enough of the stuff i want to deal get any stuff think posts a good way simone sing. the.
12:40 pm
key if you want bullet lead then the tunica. and so embedded is the rest of it system in haitian culture. that it even takes hold in the sprawling tent cities that are still filled with the pool made homeless by the 2010 earthquake. organizer jackie chan shows us around this un superbikes camp conditions on. the moon but i fail to live. on the outside of a show. e.g. . the camp is filled with children many who have lost their parents and yes quite. starved in makeshift schools try to bring back an air of normality to their lines. but it is a constant struggle against the appalling conditions as this teacher explains to me
12:41 pm
. by the conditions here and i mean this is a makeshift clouston and. drawing up already rains obviously just walls of holes through the the tent was fitted so the searching also here publishing that i was speaking to in the other classroom those 3 boys were just chatting with me or with their parents had died in the earthquake so. therefore it's only orphans being looked off to here and what they do eventually. is impossible to tell but in conditions as bad as these and with so many orphans the dangers of children. elling into lives as rest of x. are so great that the camp overseers send out regular child protection patrols. isaac is a member of one of them. could see it if you see the
12:42 pm
unfair living. and the more difficult the conditions the worse of the lives of children who become rest of things. but. i mean. members of the child protection patrol look for clues the children without parents being exploited in the camp. just tell me you know what one of the things that identifies the rest of the children from among rest of the children. on the mount. on the. media.
12:43 pm
so i do want to leave. its. members of the patrol can remove children they think are restaurants but they have nowhere outside the camp to take them. so the patrols are more about being visible and collecting information. on why. men feel sick in. the south. but these problems are not limited to 10 cities they are also endemic in the cities crowded and earthquake damaged slums. there is never a shortage of rest of children dragged into this life by conditions elsewhere in the country. decades of poverty and the destruction wrought by the earthquake of 2010 have made the already harsh conditions in port-au prince even worse and yet
12:44 pm
despite this thousands of haitians make the journey out of the rural areas to the capital almost every week and that's because as bad as things are here there's an even greater lack of resources in the provincial countryside. one of those children is. he lives with his aunt sonia her 2 children and her husband roosevelt. all of them are trapped in lives just spiraling downwards. more. liberal and i believe it. here you phone folks. are going to see. obviously bad laugh. or whatever and without. even. moving your year. in the. following year when you.
12:45 pm
will be in the going when you. if you will soon over. again me. it will not i know when i see people when they see you do. the ave the mallees uki that it. would seem when you have been going to class you without. moving people out. but if there was ever a part of these plans the family's collapse into poverty off to be earthquake has changed all that. what they were down there on their. team when you ought. to know those are going to hurt. us are going to blow. a lot harder you only want to.
12:46 pm
do all this if ok so yeah they. don't know who you don't even out over. there you know. you do that if only you know it's only one. and. it's a measure of how insidious the rest of it system is so much of it seems to happen among relatives. and rest the brick children are often hidden in plain sight. 9 year old smith for example running off alone looking still on the tiny rundown street on the outskirts of port au prince. smith lives in a 2 room shack with her cousin shelley. who maintains that smith is simply being towards domestic chores you can get him by. someone to be aboard you visit him in
12:47 pm
the last. way yeah. good bad people dead one bad didn't fit in even the one i went to even seemed fishy w.h.y. even after i've been quite an ivy you have to live in a fish that we didn't know we didn't have even we could make it a levee. but smith tells a different story in which she is much more than a mere observer of housework done. up to check. on they assume i think i really. believe i was having moved him where you really are. only. and according to smith a cousin is far from a caring guardian. you got it going but when shown going to view him they'll feel bad when you have to when they're put together i will decide there i am back. when i knew what a day would put as. well actually the back to be back if you will is the fear
12:48 pm
but i say about what will be the difference in the past i'm linda betty but me. as colette on i doubt we will piece out and go with. my mouth as though we. despite this sherrilyn denies that she has been responsible for any mistreatment of smith. the governments in haiti has banned the practice of rest of it it all gives it is no longer tolerated and may not even exist today. i mean. i love. film in this. book in that minister. do movie on the market accept.
12:49 pm
that you feel things and then you know what this is them with vick the. son existed son xander that proves exist. some people describe the rest of it phenomenon as a modern form of slavery what do you think that. for those looked. through do with selling that. downtown in port au prince and the earthquake damaged streets can seem full of working children. rest of this is a common sight and with little evidence that there is any attempt to regulate all moments of what goes on. why isn't it more of a political priority in this country i think it's because this system is so ingrained into the culture that people become so desensitized to it the haitian ambassador said that haiti is too poor haiti does not have the resources necessary
12:50 pm
to combat the system and then plus he said that the system is too ingrained into the fabric of our culture. that is difficult to eradicate it. america has long been haiti's biggest international fund this year alone it has sense more than $27000000.00 to tackle the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake. america is also the leading international player in the fight against modern slavery. yes its commitment to help haiti's chance slaves is undermined by a simple problem of terminology. the rich countries of the north have entered trafficking units and they don't quite grasp that it's all about slavery most of the slaves in the world are trafficked anywhere they're in slave to their own community and it's
12:51 pm
a shame that it's taken so long for the richest countries to get a grip on this problem and really come to an understanding of it because they are the ones who are most capable of doing something something about it do you not feel . that with a little international focus and almost no political will or capability in haiti itself the fight to free rest of children from the chains of slavery is largely left to n.g.o.s. but also but they have found a way to erode the system it relies on the most precious and prized commodity of all in haiti education. we have to have men to toe education but until we have men that oh education i think the work of sensitizing the general public or influencing the new generation i think this work is a vital. street corners in early rush hour in port au prince
12:52 pm
filled with children not working but on their way to school. despite the fact that virtually private in haiti children from even the poorest families of finding interesting impeccably turned out freshly laundered uniforms. and for rest of their children left on the sidelines as their cousins and friends attend lessons education is the one thing they design the most as you. know it's good to let alone. but. that's because we. want this classroom is full of respect children who have been rescued by an anti slavery greed. for most if not all of the this kind of charity provision is their only chance of
12:53 pm
getting a decent and regular education. full here to make food. that's created of conflict with the 44500000 full sylvius would you do feel sick and still you need to avoid the 5 record. in you mean that you need yes you know. it's a humiliation keenly felt by rest of actually. doing. ok so yeah. i think. about i suppose a sadness are you by me decided to. fuck. my life and show you the list bullimore new york defecating with limited to manual fast but that's ability
12:54 pm
to. manage their campaign is like get truth says to take their message into schools because many of these pupils encounter rest of x. or live in families where rest of the children a can't see their battles all the dangers she believes is that they may not recognize the presence of rest of x. in their lives as a problem in our. own life what are some or is it still that also doing. our very. real. they have missed out there can i see yet the systemic problem magic. there was another source getting see who is 0 day so. there are some other points in the way of core. team. as commitment. what. good is the school even if they're not exactly the same as

12:56 pm
a dramatic effect. monday. in new london on. monday i met with my status. my negus that lives. but these children are the lucky ones the problem with rest of x. is that their numbers are a solo launch and the attempts to abolish the system so relatively piecemeal. as this country tries to rebuild itself from the earthquake the real test of progress will not just be new bricks and mortar. but new hope for the children trapped in an old and been growing food of slave.

ship awful games in the single digit is that. not that reactors will get back in a moment to happen so they do almost all that bad falls short of the me glad you asked him in china then. if we accept. that children being used as rest of the child slaves. would only about 10 percent of the haitian population i don't think. would have a future. full board loudness out was a bad fellow on. a mission buffet. that i am what a. selfish. dad in being able.
