Children in Haiti's rights are not respected of the Childs rights due to the conditions they suffer in. The major problems are mortality rate, health care, survival, education and exploitation. Only 1 of every 14 kids will survive until they are one. In 2006 Haiti voted Rene Preval their new president in hope of change. Preval enforced the Political Agenda for Children to attain social reform, improve heath, increase their education, decrease aids and protect children from rape, abuse and exploitation. Haiti struggles to achieve Millennium development goals in the areas of child survival, immunization and primary education. This adds to low child survival rate. Clean water and sanitation is a problem because a lot of children have to find water, and then they have to boil it, with only 3% of forest left in Haiti to find wood. In desperation parents send their kids to be restaveks and are promised a good life, but often are exposed to exploitation, trafficking, rape and abuse. Some orphans in Haiti are forced into street gangs but some find it access to free food and shelter. In gangs, kids are forced into crimes, raped or abused as revenge from the other gangs, or as punishment for refusal of chores. Children in Haiti are being neglected of their rights because of the situation in Haiti.
