Her clothes are faded but clean. Around her neck she wears a metal cross. She sits quietly, gathered into herself, a watchful expression on her face. She is small and, were it not for this sense of wariness, she would look younger than her thirteen years. Nehemie has come to talk to me about her life. It is not a happy story. Her account would be all-too-familiar to a quarter of a million young Haitian women, many much younger than she. Nehemie is a restavek, an undocumented, unpaid, unprotected, live-in child worker. A de facto slave." (WORLD & I) This article profiles the lifestyles of the children in domestic labor in Haiti and examines the socioeconomic conditions which perpetuate the conditions in which they live.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
