Senegal mobilises to protect children’s rights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Often referred to as the suburb of the capital Dakar, Pikine, with more than one million inhabitants in 2021, is officially the second largest city in Senegal. It is in Pikine that many young Senegalese flee the countryside in search of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PACOPE programmes set up in West Africa are based on an approach that empowers families by avoiding dependence on SOS support to cover the needs of their children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By helping parents\/guardians to develop their own income-generating activities and by offering them advice and moral support throughout the intervention, the programme increases their awareness, decision-making power and financial capacity. Parents\/guardians are given the opportunity to meet their children’s basic needs (e.g. paying for school, health, food, etc.) and to respect their rights to survival, development, protection and participation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They regularly organise awareness-raising activities for adults and children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
