Press Conference by Vanessa Frazier, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, on her recent mission to Haiti.
Frazier said, “children in Haiti are facing levels of violence that no children anywhere should ever endure. Armed gangs terrorise communities and children are paying the highest price.”
She said, “I witnessed profound suffering for many children,” which left her “deeply concerned, but also profoundly moved by the resilience and courage of Haiti's youngest generation.”
She said, “growing up means a daily struggle to survive, live in constant fear and be subject to intimidation, violence, family separation, displacement, and trauma, as gangs take advantage of the vulnerability of these children. |
