2. Children’s jobs
In Senegal, there are approximately more than 6,700,700 of children. And 4,200,000 of
them work!
In 2018, Senegal made a moderate advancement to eliminate the worst forms of child
labour. The government launched a second phase of “Retrait de la Rue”, a program to
remove children engaged in forced begging in the Dakar area, with some success.
However, nowadays children in Senegal engage in the worst forms of child labour.
Children perform dangerous tasks in gold mining and child trafficking. Furthermore, this
types of dangerous work prohibited for children do not include domestic work and street
work.
