In this framework, it is planned: • the construction of 30 wells, 55 separate boys / girls toilet blocks, with ramps and handwashing devices, 25 fence walls, 25 multipurpose "Child-friendly Spaces", 385 masonry benches for "Child Friendly Space" in education and learning facilities; • the rehabilitation of 30 wells, 33 separate boys / girls toilet blocks, with ramps and handwashing devices, 35 water supply systems for education and learning facilities. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
At the regulatory level, there is a system for the management of student pregnancies with the circular No.
004379 / ME / SG / DEMSG / DAJLD of 11/10/2007.
It now gives pregnant girls the opportunity to return to school after giving birth.
This is a progress on the girls' rights to education, for, before the existence of this circular, girls who found themselves in a situation of pregnancy were definitely excluded from school. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
The promotion of inclusive education is ensured through the experimentation of inclusive classes in the localities of Pikine, Guédiawaye and Rufisque thanks to the support of the social inclusion project implemented by MEN and MSAS. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
Also, the MEN has four specialized institutions that provide education for children with disabilities: The National Institute for Education and Training of Blind Youth (INEFJA) of Thies, the Verbo-tonal Center of Dakar for deaf and dumb children, the Talibou Dabo Center in Dakar for children with motor disabilities, the Center for Education and Training of Intellectual Disabilities (CEFDI) in Dakar for children with intellectual disabilities. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
Moreover, inclusive education is the subject of particular attention in the strategies of adaptation of the educational offer.
Thus, we can note: ✓ the adoption of the social orientation Law No. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
2010-15 of July 6, 2010, regulated by the 2012-1038 implementing order of October 2, 2012 relating to the departmental technical commissions in charge of the applications for the cards of equal opportunities and promotion of special education; Implementation of the ACRWC - Senegal Periodic Report (2011-2017) 16 ✓ development of a guidance document for elementary education; ✓ the mainstreaming of inclusive education in the technical specifications of school buildings; ✓ The inclusion of inclusive education in the criteria for budget allocation to schools; ✓ the stabilization of local inclusion mechanisms by types of sensitive disabilities. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
It also recommends that the Government ensure that measures of encouragement exclusively for girls do not take on the appearance of educational disadvantage and engender frustration, discouragement, or lack of motivation in boys and a development of gender-focused negative behaviors of both girls and boys. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
In response to this recommendation, the Ministry of Education has set up an Observatory for the Fight against Vulnerability and School Wastage which aims to identify and support children in vulnerable situations who risk dropping out of school. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
Article 14: HEALTH AND MEDICAL SERVICES The Committee encourages: ▪ the training policy in numbers of competent doctors, senior technicians in anesthesia, assistant operators, instrumentalists, and midwives; As part of the implementation of the National Health Policy of Senegal, the government has recruited 500 health workers between 2012 and 2013. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
Better still, the President of the Republic authorized, during a Cabinet Meeting in late 2013, the exceptional recruitment, starting in 2014, of 1,000 health workers, including 500 midwives, to further materialize his policy of improving maternal and child health.
This recruitment, which significantly strengthens the workforce, includes 90 medical doctors, 90 nurses and 500 midwives for the development of local care in remote areas of the country. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
The government urges the local authorities, the private sector and technical and financial partners to support the development of human resources to facilitate the recruitment of graduates who leave health training schools each year.
In the field of in-service training, considerable efforts are being made to strengthen the skills of the medical staff. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
By way of example, mention may be made of: • The training of District Medical Officers at the Institute of Health and Development (ISED); Implementation of the ACRWC - Senegal Periodic Report (2011-2017) 17 • The training of competent SOU teams (competent doctors, senior technicians in anesthesia, assistant operators, instrumentalists) ▪ sustained information of families and communities on the promotion of exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months; Breastfeeding is a universal practice in Senegal. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
However, only 33% of children benefit from exclusive breastfeeding.
As a result, in December 2015, the Ministry of Health and Social Action started an awareness campaign on exclusive breastfeeding for up to 6 months, identified as a strategy to reduce infant and child mortality and promote family planning, especially through the MAMA method based on breastfeeding and amenorrhea (absence of periods). | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
▪ the regular organization of the campaigns of deworming and vitamin A supplementation which made it possible to have appreciable levels of cover of the order of 98% for Vitamin A and 97% for deworming, etc. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
; In June 2016, the MSAS launched the Child Survival Days (JSE), which offers children under the age of 0-5 free access to an integrated package of interventions including vitamin A supplementation, de-worming, catch-up vaccination, active screening and management of acute malnutrition and diarrhea, promotion of registration to the Registry and promotion of key behaviors (exclusive breastfeeding, washing of hands with soap, complementary food, consumption of foods rich in micronutrients). | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
▪ the organization of sustained mass communication in endemic areas and provision of iodized salt to families with promotional control exercise and provision of test kits; Intensive and repeated communication campaigns have been conducted by the Government through the Ministry of Health and Social Action and with strong involvement of civil society organizations to sensitize communities on the benefits of using iodized salt with the provision of prevention kits. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
These campaigns have helped people understand the importance of using iodized salt in their diets.
Thanks to its efforts, the evaluation carried out on the level of use of iodized salt in 2015 conducted by CLM was estimated at nearly 80% of households.
▪ The implementation of a policy of systematic eradication of severe malnutrition; The Government has stepped up actions in the fight against malnutrition. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
Thus, between 2002 and 2015, the budget allocated to the Malnutrition Control Unit (CLM) has almost been multiplied by 20, from 0.3 to 5.7 million US dollars.
The initiatives developed against malnutrition are geared towards two components: the organization of awareness campaigns and the implementation of a package of services. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
Implementation of the ACRWC - Senegal Periodic Report (2011-2017) 18 The package of services includes the monitoring of the promotion of the growth of children from 0 to 24 months, the quarterly screening of malnutrition, the management of moderately malnourished children at the community level, through check-up sessions, weighing, distribution of nutritional products at the level of community centers, referencing and monitoring of children suffering from acute malnutrition. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
Other local and community initiatives contribute to the fight against child malnutrition and food insecurity.
This is true of programs of milk distribution and food vouchers.
The milk program at the school initiated four years ago by the City of Dakar has made it possible, in addition to improving the nutritional status of children, to promote the enrollment and retention of thousands of children in school. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
The contribution of development partners helped to distribute 13 tons of milk in 2014, to the benefit of malnourished children, breastfeeding women and people living with HIV.
All these efforts have significantly reduced the prevalence rate of acute malnutrition to less than 5% in the Dakar region.
In the other regions, the rate is 10%. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
In the other regions, the rate is 10%.
Nutrition interventions require the integration of several approaches: food availability, existence of basic social services, but also and especially the availability of information.
Therefore, all the strategies of the CLM aimed at improving the nutritional status of the population through the implementation of projects and programs are supported by a strong communication component. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
For this reason, the CLM regularly implements successive campaigns with the aim of improving the nutritional status of populations living in disadvantaged urban or rural areas.
These campaigns reinforce the actions of interpersonal communication carried out at the community level, through educational talks, individual interviews and social mobilization activities. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
In addition to these interpersonal communication activities carried out at the operational level as part of the Communication for Behavioral Change, our structure places particular importance on the use of mass media to disseminate knowledge about the desired behavior at the level of the program targets and actors.
CLM has been developing large-scale media campaigns for more than two years, designing and disseminating mass media and interpersonal communication at the community level. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
These nationwide campaigns are designed to promote good nutrition behaviors such as consumption and production of iodized salt, exclusive breastfeeding, food fortification, complementary feeding and nutrition and hygiene. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
In order to better reach the targets and strengthen the nutritional education of the population, the CLM has signed agreements with several community radios, because of their vocation to get as close as possible to the concerns of the community to inform them, to Implementation of the ACRWC - Senegal Periodic Report (2011-2017) 19 sensitize them through the participation in thematic programs, contests and the broadcasting of spots in local languages. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
More recently, the CLM has developed a 2018-2022 Multisectoral Strategic Plan for Nutrition estimated at 206 billion FCFA.
▪ The institutionalization of a health mutual to prevent some children from falling victim to lack of care; The government has made social protection a priority in public policies.
This option has been significantly strengthened since 2012 by adopting innovative and inclusive projects with high social added value. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
These include the development and implementation of Family Security Scholarship Programs (PNBSF) and Universal Health Coverage (CMU).
Universal Health Coverage consists of developing and reorganizing health mutual organizations based on an analysis of the existing, which integrates various free initiatives that have been tested (cesarean section, sesame plan, care of children aged 0-5). | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
The strategy behind this program is the establishment of an effective partnership between community health mutual organizations3, local authorities and the state.
The objective is to have "at least one health mutual organization per community" to increase the coverage rate of mutual health organizations.
In the same vein, the Ministry of Health has set up an Equity Fund for the medical care of indigents and vulnerable groups. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
This pilot experiment enabled the enrollment and free medical care of more than 4,716 vulnerable people, mostly children, through 25 pilot health mutual organizations in the four (04) intervention areas of the project. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
A second enrollment phase, which includes the Thiès region, is being developed as part of the Program of Support to the Offer and Demand for Care in Senegal (PAODES), a continuation of the Health Microinsurance Support Program (PAMAS), with the increase of new mutual organizations in the four former regions and more than 1,500 children enrolled in 2013. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
Experiences to extend health risk coverage in schools were also developed in the Fatick and Kaolack regions through the "Student Health Insurance" project (AMEL), which in 2013 enabled medical care of 23, 000 students through health mutual organizations.
3In terms of regulation, health mutual organizations have a legal framework since 2009 with the adoption of Regulation No.
07/2009 / CM / UEMOA regulating social mutuality within WAEMU by the statutory Council of Ministers of June 26. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
Implementation of the ACRWC - Senegal Periodic Report (2011-2017) 20 It should be recalled that, the number of functional health mutual organizations increased from 80 in 2003 to 237 in 2011 and 675 mutual organizations established with a total enrollment of 2, 125,049 enrolled in the first quarter of 2017.
The government is firmly committed to a generalization of health mutual organizations to bring universal health coverage to 75% in 2017. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
The Universal Health Coverage (CMU) 2013-2017 program, officially launched on September 20, 2013 aims to guarantee, through the mutualization, the access of the population, especially children to a minimum package of care.
Free emergency care for children under the age of five has the same encouraging results: around 7,000 children under the age of five have been checked up free of charge, more than 300,000 have been vaccinated and 600,000 hospitalized free of charge in 2014. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
In total, free healthcare has helped support nearly 1.5 million children since October 2013, when the measure came into force. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
The Equal Opportunities Card (CEC) is a social protection mechanism that allows people to benefit from the rights and advantages of access to health care, rehabilitation, fitting with prothesis, financial services, education, training, employment, transportation, and any other benefit that may contribute to the promotion and protection of persons, especially children with disabilities.
A total of 35,921 equal opportunities cards were distributed in August 2017. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
In order to strengthen access to social service offers, the government has set up a Unique National Register (RNU) to facilitate the integrated enrollment of beneficiaries of the various social safety net programs implemented.
▪ the reinforcement and widening of the free delivery of the caesarean section on the whole national territory and the subsidy to the prenatal care with setting of a fixed price for the checkups and the prescriptions. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
The reduction of maternal, neonatal and infant and juvenile morbidity and mortality, due to its impact on the country's development, is the major challenge of the National Health Development Program (PNDS 2009-2018).
Improving the availability and accessibility of the integrated package of quality interventions for the mother / child couple requires an increase in health coverage, particularly in rural areas. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
Senegal has undertaken various initiatives to provide free deliveries and caesareans in five pilot regions considered to be the poorest and most difficult to access in the country.
The initiative for free health care for mothers, newborns and children under five is part of universal health coverage.
Free caesarean section, initiated since 2006, has been extended to all regions of Senegal. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
Implementation of the ACRWC - Senegal Periodic Report (2011-2017) 21 The subsidy policy for delivery and caesarean delivery kits is in place to ensure affordability for the poorest populations.
The various supervisions carried out regularly showed an increase in the rate of use of the services, and consequently a decrease of the number of stillborn and a reduction of deliveries at home.
In practice, as part of the implementation of the caesarean policy, the state supports caesarean kits. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
A reimbursement of CFAF 55,000 by cesarean section is granted to health facilities.
In conclusion, with a monthly average approaching the number of 1,000 cases of caesarean sections in the 20 public health facilities of the free program, there is an increase in the rate of use of services.
A total of 75,000 pregnant women have already benefited from free caesarean section in public health structures. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
The universal health coverage (CMU) program has led to encouraging results by opting for the generalization of free caesarean section in all health structures.
Article 15: CHILD LABOUR The Committee urges the Government of Senegal to implement the various laws and to protect children from the worst forms of labor and economic exploitation which could disrupt the education of the child or jeopardize his health. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
Several measures are being taken to further combat economic exploitation and the worst forms of child labor.
It should first be recalled that the legal framework contains relevant provisions to combat the labor and economic exploitation of children, and largely complies with the requirements of Articles 15 of the Charter and 3 of Convention 182 of the International Labor Organization, which defines the worst forms of child labor. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
Article L.145 of the Labor Code provides that "children may not be employed in any enterprise, even as apprentices, before the age of fifteen, except in the case of derogation by decree of the Minister of Labor, considering local circumstances and the tasks that may be required of them. "
Various orders regulate the work and learning of children. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
Implementation of the ACRWC - Senegal Periodic Report (2011-2017) 22 At the same time, the State has embarked on a project of reforming the decrees to harmonize the system with the requirements of ILO Convention 182, which requires that the minimum age for admission to employment must in no case be less than the age of completion of compulsory education.
It is a question of raising this age from 15 to 16 years, following the adoption of the law 2004-37 on compulsory schooling from 6 to 16 years. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
In the context of the fight against child labor, Senegal, in accordance with the relevant provisions of ILO Conventions Nos.
138 and 182, has undertaken to develop and adopt a national policy aiming at effectively combating child labor. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
The National Framework Plan to Combat Child Labor (PCN), adopted politically in November 2012 by the authorities of the Republic, is the document on which Senegal intends to rely to harmonize the interventions of the various actors in this field and to implement the Action Plan in the short, medium and long term. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
The Coordinating Unit on Combating Child Labor has, in particular, undertaken a review of the legislative and regulatory framework governing the use of children in the worst forms of child labor, including begging by children in behalf of third parties.
This form of exploitation of children has been prohibited since 2003 by Order No.
3749 of 6th June 2003 defining and prohibiting the worst forms of child labor. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
This principle of prohibition is still enshrined in the draft decree repealing and replacing Order No.
3749.
On the legal side, provisions strengthening the sanctions for offenses related to the use of children in certain activities such as begging were proposed in the host of sanctions, provided by the Labor Code. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
It should be noted that all these draft amendments to the Labor Code and the regulatory texts that aim to better protect children from work and at work place have already been adopted by the National Consultative Council for Labor and Social Security, which is the last review body before introduction into the official adoption process. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
The Committee encourages the translation of all international instruments and all other texts relating to the Rights of the Child into national languages, the training of Koranic teachers (serignes daaras) and community leaders on the Rights of the Child.
This concern is included in the second action plan (2016-2018) of the National Strategy for Child Protection. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
In addition, certain provisions of the Charter and the Convention have been translated into Wolof by the Association of Senegalese Jurists (AJS).
In the framework of the promotion of the Rights of the Child, many trainings have been conducted by state structures and civil society organizations for Koranic teachers and Implementation of the ACRWC - Senegal Periodic Report (2011-2017) 23 community leaders. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
For example, the capacity of 8,135 actors have been built in the framework of the Government-UNICEF cooperation program.
Article 16: PROTECTION AGAINST ABUSE AND ILL-TREATMENT The Committee recommends the harmonization of domestic legislation with international child protection instruments.
The Children's Code Bill incorporates the harmonization of domestic law with international law on all aspects of the right of the child, including the fight against abuse and ill-treatment. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
In addition, the 2001 constitution affirms Senegal's adherence to international legal instruments, including the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child.
Moreover, it recognizes the superiority of ratified international texts over the national legislative framework. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
Several text revision projects are being finalized, in line with international standards: ✓ Bill to revise the penal code and the code of criminal procedure; ✓ Bill to reform of civil status in the family code; ✓ Children's Advocate Bill; ✓ Children's Code Bill; ✓ Bill on the modernization of the daaras. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
The Committee recommends that the Government of Senegal broaden the scope of the fight against violence and sexual abuse of children by conducting a study on the deep or structural motivations of the perpetrators of rape and abuse, as well as ensure the application of its measures. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
A study published in 2012 by UN Women reveals that many cases of victims of abuse or violence treated in health facilities are not the subject of denunciation to justice, which strongly inhibits the efforts of the Government and its partners in the profiling and repression of the perpetrators. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
Similarly, the 2013 ECPAT Luxembourg study "Do not look away" on the sexual exploitation of children in the context of tourism and travel, demonstrated the difficulty of collecting qualitative data on the perpetrators of the abuses and rapes. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
Implementation of the ACRWC - Senegal Periodic Report (2011-2017) 24 However, other initiatives are being developed to try to identify the problem, notably the Joint Program between the Government and the United Nations System to eradicate gender- based violence, but also the program for the protection of children against violence implemented by World Vision Senegal and the project to combat violence in schools, an initiative of the Ministry of National Education, in collaboration with UNICEF and Plan International Senegal, developed with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development (DFATD) of Canada. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_2/1722004992444.pdf | https://www.acerwc.africa/sites/default/files/2022-09/Senegal%20First%20Periodic%20report%20English.pdf | Senegal |
