Prostitution in Haiti

Prostitution in Haiti

Prostitution in Haiti is illegal [ [http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/hrrpt/2005/61731.htm Haiti ] ] [http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/reprint/313/5786/474.pdf] but the country used to be a premier destination in the 1970s for sex tourism for adults. But in recent years children have had to prostitute themselves in order to survive and Haiti has become a sex tourist destination for pedophiles.
