Would you believe that Haiti, the first country who fought and won against slavery, is now ranked #2 in the list of countries of the most slaves in the world? Why? A RESTAVEC is a slave! As if you didn't know...

The New York Times has unpublished a post showcasing photographs of Haitian child servants. Apparently, photojournalist Vlad Sokhin lied about the people in this photos, one of whom he paid $100 a day to be his driver, according to the editor's note...

(From: Laurence Kaplan) Mr. Sokhin has disgraced the honorable profession of photojournalism. His lies to the NY Times Lens Blog about the source of his Restavek photos and his deceitful narrative that he gave to journalist Deborah Sontag to accompany the photographs is reprehensible. His slander of Mr. Lesli Zoe Petit-Phar is disgusting, self-serving, and probably in false pursuit of a Pulitzer.

In Haiti, a RESTAVEC is the ultimate have-not in a society of have-nots. There is a new set of shameful Haiti restavec photos that has just surfaced online though a New York Times article.

Haitian law prohibits child slavery and labor, Haiti's labor laws prohibit the employment of children below the age of 15.

One humiliating experiences, most disconcerting, most disturbing in the life of a woman... It is well... rape.
