European Parliament demands urgent action against gang violence and exploitation in Haiti
Official title: Escalerende smokkel- en uitbuitingspraktijken van criminele groeperingen in Haïti
Status: Parliament has approved this proposal. (parliament: ‘Adopted’)
In plain language
- The European Parliament strongly condemns gang violence in Haiti and calls for increased humanitarian aid, disarmament, and cutting off illegal weapon and money flows.
- This mainly affects the people of Haiti, particularly children and women who suffer from human trafficking, sexual violence, and forced recruitment into gangs.
- For your daily life as a citizen, this brings no direct change, but your government and the EU are urged to step up financial and international assistance.
