Activity Recap
In Senegal, as part of an ongoing national advocacy and communication campaign by the Ministry of Family and Children against child maltreatment, with support of UNICEF, a forum with high-level imams and representatives from religious networks discussed child protection issues and the position of the Qur’an on certain practices. In addition, imams, teachers, community-based organizations and NGOs participated in community dialogues on the same theme in a rural district from which many children are sent to beg by their Qur’anic teachers.
