A magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti on 12 January 2010, killing and displacing large numbers of people and disrupting family care, schooling, and social services. UNICEF warned in its post-earthquake reporting that separation and hardship could increase children’s vulnerability to domestic servitude, including restavek exploitation. The disaster did not create the practice: it intensified conditions that had long made poor and displaced children vulnerable to coercive labor and trafficking.
