As part of the "National Child Day" the Youth Government of Haiti (GJH) wished to recall that "children, as human beings, deserve special protection because of their vulnerability. Having found that the number of street children has risen to over 13,000, the GJH rules against the abuse of children while deploring the fact that the number of street children continues to rise in Haiti [...]"

In this sense, "the GJH calls for full respect for the rights of children and urged parents to be more involved for the benefit of the implementation of family planning culture in order to ensure the harmonious development of their progeny [...] in this global and integrated perspective, the Youth Government invites the Haitian authorities, national and international organizations to do more for improving the situation of children, because they represent the future of the country, must be part of the reconstruction of the country and be a central concern in national planning."
