Haiti's children are increasingly trapped in a cycle of gang violence, forced into recruitment, sexual exploitation, and deadly crossfire, according to a new report by Amnesty International.
The organization found that 30% to 50% of gang members are now children, with many coerced into joining due to hunger or fear. Nearly two million people in Haiti are on the verge of starvation, and over one million children live in gang-controlled areas, where 85% of Port-au-Prince is under gang rule.
