Child recruitment by armed groups in Haiti triples amid violence

  • According to UNICEF, the number of children recruited by armed groups in Haiti tripled last year, exacerbated by widespread poverty and violence.
  • An estimated 90% of Port-au-Prince is under gang control, with children as young as nine being targeted for recruitment.
  • There is an urgent need for increased funding to effectively address the issue and help vulnerable children in Haiti.
