Hollywood couple Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore have launched a new campaign to put an end to child slavery in the earthquake-ravaged island of Haiti.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n The spouses are joining forces to voice their concerns over the country’s restavec System, in which a child is sent to work as a domestic servant for another family in exchange for support. <\/p>\n The couple told Mashable.com<\/a> that they believe restavec is slavery by a different name.<\/p>\n Demi and Ashton argue that the system prevents young people from accessing education and experiencing their childhood, and have used their Demi & Ashton Foundation to sponsor a pledge to encourage members at a United Nations meeting on Wednesday to donate to Haiti and call for a ban against the restavec System.<\/p>\n The Kutchers will put their massive online following to good use by convincing donors to Haitian relief that some of the $11 billion in aid should go towards banning the restavec system. They see the effort as, “the first steps to a better and more just society.”<\/em><\/p>\n Those interested in the campaign can head to DemiAndAshton.org, or show their support by following the effort on Twitter @dnafoundation or becoming a fan on Facebook at Demi & Ashton Foundation.<\/p>\n Hollywood couple Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore have launched a new campaign to put an end to child slavery in the earthquake-ravaged island of Haiti.
