Morocco’s National Observatory for Children’s Rights has launched a mechanism to support working children from identification through to reintegration, and to provide assistance to their families. Nearly 103,000 children aged 7 to 17 still work in the country, according to High Commission for Planning data reported by Leseco.
The National Observatory for Children’s Rights (ONDE) launched the National Mechanism for the Eradication of Child Labour (DNETE) in Rabat on Friday 16 October. It is intended to provide individual support to affected children, from identification through to reintegration. Nearly 103,000 children aged 7 to 17 are still working in Morocco, according to data from the High Commission for Planning (HCP).
The mechanism also provides economic support to families to help ensure the lasting withdrawal of children from the labour market, according to ONDE.
