Anti-Trafficking in Persons Project [through Restavec Freedom Foundation]

These funds will support the Jean Cadet Restavek Foundation (CJRF) to respond to the heightened vulnerabilities of child domestic servants, known as restaveks, following the January 2010 earthquake.

JCRF will use child advocates to identify and provide services to restavek children in ten communities in Port-au-Prince and other communities; provide outreach to parents and community leaders in these communities about the importance of children's rights, access to education, and avoiding sending their children to be restaveks; and to engage with the relevant ministries of the Government of Haiti and the international community to address concerns specific to restavek children in the rebuilding of child protection institutions and policies following the earthquake.
