Helps Haiti and its children: Five social, political and economic challenges facing Haitian children

For decades, Haitians who live in countries suffering from natural disasters and political instability are more healthy, more economically growing - and low wage Haitian workers are needed -. Because it is relatively easy for the Haitians to reach the Dominican border guard against the other side, actions by cross-border management staff were always difficult for the authorities. However, the Haitians have been abused for a long time in the Dominican Republic. In recent years, thousands of people have been forced to retreat, including records of people born in Haiti actually born in the Dominican Republic.

After the devastating earthquake of 12th January 2010, innumerable Haiti escaped the border to escape the influence of the earthquake. The Dominican government was one of the first countries to dispatch teams to distribute food and medicine to victims, making Haiti easier to obtain visas for treatment at Dominican hospitals. Goods were brought to Haiti through the Dominican Republic and many injured Haitians were treated at Dominica Hospital. Relations are getting worse because refugees remain in the Dominican Republic, but Haitian refugees have also been adopted and supported by many Dominican people. According to reports, some Dominican people are worried that earthquake refugees lead to increased criminal rates, overcrowding, cholera and unemployment. Increases in discrimination are due to numerous Haitian refugees in the Dominican Republic.
