Abstract
Abstract:This article presents a historical and contemporary overview of child domestic servitude in Haiti and an analysis of legislation that protects children from labor exploitation and trafficking. The range of criminal sanctions addressing the issue of child domestic servitude has created an unpredictable legal terrain for how these cases are resolved, allowing for prosecutors and judges to apply any one of the various applicable laws of choice with vastly disparate sentencing outcomes for abusers, recruiters, and parents.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Global South Studies focuses on the countries and peoples of the "global south," including those in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and parts of Oceania. The global south is not, however, synonymous with geographic locations in the southern hemisphere. That is, some of these countries and peoples are situated in the northern hemisphere. The journal solicits high-quality, academic papers on a broad range of issues and topics affecting these countries and peoples. Such papers may address questions involving politics, history, economics, culture, social organization, legal systems, agriculture, the environment, global institutions and systems, justice, and more. The journal aims to promote a wider and better understanding of our world and its peoples. The Journal of Global South Studies is the official journal of the Association of Global South Studies.
