Nos partenaires, EPAD, participent aux sessions du Comité pour mettre la question de la mendicité forcée des enfants talibés au Niger et en Afrique de l'Ouest à l'ordre du jour et exiger que des actions concrètes soient prises pour éradiquer ce phénomène.

#ACRWC35 #CADBEE35 #KnowYourCharter

Chaque enfant devrait jouir du droit de grandir dans un environnement sûr, de jouer, d'aller à l'école et de vivre librement. Pourtant, près d'un quart des personnes impactées par l'esclavage moderne sont des enfants. La mendicité forcée est l'une des formes les plus préoccupantes.

[FR version]: Aujourd'hui, la 46e session ordinaire du Comité africain d'experts sur les droits et le bien-être de l'enfant débute à Maseru, au Lesotho.

Our partners EPAD – École Parrainage & Actions de Développement are present to raise awareness of the issue of forced begging by Talibé children in #Niger and West Africa, and to demand action.

Safeguarding children is a joint effort, and we must act now.

#ACRWC35 #KnowYourCharter

All children deserve to grow up in safe environments, play, go to school, and live in freedom. But roughly a quarter of people living in modern slavery today are children. Forced begging is one of the ways children are exploited in slavery.

To truly tackle modern slavery, the UK Government must refocus its attention on what matters - protecting and safeguarding survivors, and restoring humanity to its treatment of those in need of protection.

It was also a powerful moment to hear from our new CEO, Helen Moulinos, on how we’re looking to transform the sector and push for systemic change.

Together, we explored vital questions:
💡Why has abolition failed to end slavery?
💡Why does slavery continue to thrive in the modern world?
💡 How can we take meaningful action to end slavery for good?
💡And what needs to change within the Modern Slavery Act to drive real, lasting progress?

The room was alive with passionate, powerful, and diverse voices made up of esteemed scholars, political activists, policy makers, and professionals. All in deep conversation about 1 urgent truth: the fight against modern slavery is far from over.
