Government Intervention In Haiti

After many tragic natural disasters in Haiti, the country was left weakened and vulnerable. With the help of other outside governments, Haiti received well deserved help, but not enough to fully mend it. For years, governments worldwide have interfered in other governments in need of assistance. Countries have helped strengthen and rebuild governments, which creates a sense of peace between them.

Women are victims of tragic assaults that are overlooked, “...we went to the police station right here, they don’t even come, and they never conducted an investigation when I explained the problem” (Schuller).

There is nothing wrong with helping others in need, especially those who are desperate for assistance. The people of Haiti are already suffering enough. They have no security and lack many resources (Schuller). No one deserves to suffer as much as the Haitians
