Haiti was in sad shape before the devastating earthquake - 70% unemployment, 80% of the Haitian people lived on $2 or less per day and the Haitian children were known to be cheap for predators and traffickers to exploit... often sold for as little as $50. Now with this national disaster, loss of life, and more desperation than ever before, Haitian children will be more vulnerable than ever to traffickers that profit on exploiting the young and vulnerable.
United Nations humanitarian chief John Holmes said the UN is establishing a group whose mission on the ground in Haiti will be to protect children - orphans and non-orphans - against trafficking, kidnapping and sex abuse. There were 380,000 orphans in Haiti before the earthquake... now tens of thousands more to protect. See article:

O.A.T.H.A recent study interviewing 700 men that pay for sex with prostitutes uncovers emabarrasment, shame, guilt and dissatisfaction from many of the men... "unfulfilled, empty, still lonely". One third of the men admitted to knowing that the women had been trafficked from other countries and half understand that these women are mistreated by their pimps. Another study done in 2005 discovered that the number of men paying for sex with prostitutes has doubled in the last decade. Only 6% of the men interviewed had ever been fined or arrested for soliciting prostitutes.
