Diplomatie et Enfance : Le Sénégal s'engage pour la "Déclaration de Rabat" lors du Forum Africain du Parlement de l’Enfant
Senegal participated in the first African Children's Parliament Forum, which was held in Rabat, Kingdom of Morocco, on November 21 and 22, 2025. The Senegalese delegation was led by Ms. Maïmouna Dièye, Minister of Family, Social Action and Solidarity.
The Senegalese delegation was composed of Senegalese children's parliamentarians, demonstrating the importance the Government attaches to the participation of children in the development and implementation of public policies.
In her address, Minister Maïmouna Dièye conveyed greetings from President Bassirou Diomaye Diakhar Faye and reaffirmed Senegal's commitment to strengthening the protection and promotion of children's rights. She highlighted several national initiatives: the relaunch of the National Children's Parliament, the implementation of the National Online Child Protection Plan, and the strengthening of support systems, including the rehabilitation of the GINDDI Center, in cooperation with Morocco and Spain.
The Forum was held under the High Patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI and the effective chairmanship of Her Royal Highness Princess Lalla Meryem. It brought together 170 participants from 28 African countries.
The discussions focused on key issues for children: education, mental health, combating early marriages, protecting street children, preventing child labor, and digital security.
The work culminated in the adoption of the Rabat Declaration on Children's Participation in Africa's Development. This ambitious text commits African countries to promoting children's participation, strengthening legal frameworks, and intensifying continental cooperation.
Through its participation, Senegal reaffirms its determination to actively contribute to building a protective, just and inclusive Africa, where every child benefits from protection, dignity and opportunities.

Dans les faits il y'a de jeunes enfants innocents qui traînent dans les rues du Sénégal et qui vivent dans des conditions exécrables et l'Etat qui est censé les protéger ne lève le petit doigt.
On accepte l'inacceptable dans ce pays.
Certes les parents ont démissionné mais il appartient aux autorités de les sauver en interdisant la mendicité des enfants.
Il faut savoir que l'état fait beaucoup d'efforts sur des droits et protection des enfants en mettant la stratégie nationale de la protection des enfants (snpe)et en ratifiant ou signer les cabe et cde
Avec des ONG comme l'ONG Eden qui aujourd'hui est une organisation de référence dans la protection et la formation des enfants et jeunes
