 Parents awareness and education project : Amnesty international Benin for awareness

In the fight against the exploitation of children in the department of Ouémé, Amnesty International Benin has launched a project to raise awareness and educate parents and workshop owners.

Five months, The project aims to mobilize the actors involved in the fight for a real development of the juvenile layer, often victim of domestic violence, of economic exploitation, forced labor, forced marriage or violence in places of learning. And for this project, nine localities are concerned. It's about, among others, of the communes of Adjohoun, Bonou and Dangbo in the Oueme department.

For Dieudonné Dagbeto, Executive Director of Amnesty International Benin, the department of Ouémé is said to be one of the main recruitment zones for the trafficking of children for the purpose of their exploitation in neighboring countries. According to his words, the children of this community who find themselves on the other side of the border (Nigeria), on the general initiative of parents, would sometimes be subjected to domestic servitude and forced to work in the fields, in farms, artisanal quarries, on construction sites, or as vendors in the streets or in the markets.

He deploys these cases of abuse and serious violations of children's rights, which are almost never reported to protection officers and are even said to be done with the complicity of parents and people who are nonetheless “enlightened”. Present at the ceremony King Agon stressed that children have serious problems in the valley and Amnesty actions are welcome. He reassures of his availability and his commitment to the development of the child. For its part, the Departmental Director of Social Affairs of Ouémé indicated that child protection is at the heart of the ministry's concerns, therefore from the government and also reassured of his willingness to accompany the initiative. Note that extension sessions are planned for the Child Helpline.Patrice ADJAHO
