Wyclef Jean has recorded a radio message asking people in his home country Haiti to take a stand against the culture of crime there, and also calling on men in the country to better respect women's rights. Speaking in Creole, he says in the radio ad: "If you love Wyclef that means you love Haiti. So you should not be raping women, kidnapping people and children. I reject these evil practices. There can be no excuse for doing them".
As previously reported, the former Fugee is already a 'roving ambassador' for his home country, and has been involved in various projects to bring about economic and social stability there.
