Although many children are trafficked from Haiti into the Dominican Republic, the International Organisation for Migration has also highlighted a huge problem of internal trafficking into domestic service in the country. One of the 71 children helped to return home by IOM and their partners said “I want to go back home because there, I did not have any scars on my skin.". Extreme poverty had forced his parents to give him to unpaid domestic labour. He had to prepare the school uniforms and lunches of the children in the house, but was not allowed an education himself. Now, with the help of IOM he will have some support to go to school.
