 Human trafficking and forced child labour, these are global problems. Children are made to work under extreme conditions wherever they're told to go. In gold mines, or in cocoa plantations, or in the fishing industry, some of these children are as young as five years old. Children are fragile, children have to be protected, because the Convention of United Nations on the Rights of Children protects them in the hands of the children. And we have to support them here. We have to work in this direction so that a child can really find all his wealth, all his fundamental rights, and be respected everywhere he finds himself. When we see children involved in the construction of traditional houses, when we see children involved in the manufacture of feral drinks, children involved in the production of coal, but these are unacceptable. And this operation has allowed us to see that there are still all kinds of phenomena that we will have to tackle. Those children's human rights are gone, because they're controlled totally. They are totally dependent on the person who has brought them there. Then they become totally dependent on the person who makes them do the work. And then they become totally dependent even on themselves for just basic survival. It is only through partnerships that we can tackle this form of modern day slavery. No one country or organisation can address these problems alone. By combining our resources, combining our strengths, combining our will, we can work together to save innocent victims from losing their childhood. This was why in June 2015, Interpol launched Project Akoma to unite efforts across West Africa to combat child labour. I think it is a project of a newbie, a newbie in the sense of an immediate collaboration between Interpol, OEM and even with the government partners, UNJs and so on. So I think that this holistic approach, this integrated approach will give the results. It was through this united effort involving the government, health workers, the IOM and law enforcement that 48 children were rescued and 22 people arrested, sending a strong message to the traffickers. But if you traffic these children in there will be a police response and from that you get prevention and from that you get protection and from that you can see very clear partnership. How can you play a role in helping to stop child labour? How can you help protect the next generation? If we are going to make a change, we need to start with the children and we need to start now because in just a few years they won't be children anymore.
