Fighting Child Slavery in Haiti

In Haiti, it's very common for children, particularly from rural areas, to be sent to live with host families so they can go to school. They're called restavek children - from the French for 'stay with'. It's thought there are maybe up to 300,000 children in this situation, but many of them end up being treated like slaves. Adeline Bien-Aimé was herself sent to live with relatives as a girl, and works for the Restavek Freedom Foundation in Port-au-Prince for other children who've escaped the system.
