Background:

Association Nationale pour l'Appui à l'Initiative Féminine la Protection Infantile et Environnementale (ANAIF-PIE) was created in 1995 by a group of executive women who recognised a need in Mauritania to promote gender equity and ensure that children grow up in a safe environment conducive to strong development. The organisation now has 200 members and its objectives are to provide support for women's projects in the development sector and to protect and promote children's rights. The group's work has included setting up a database and elaborating a strategy to promote gender equity. It has financed several cooperatives for women heads of households. And it has supported research on the commercial sexual exploitation of children, as well as the impact of migration on women's economic status.

Activities:

Over the past year, ANAIF-PIE opened a residential care centre for children victims of commercial sexual exploitation, including a psychiatric consultation centre service and follow-up with children who are recent CSEC victims.

ANAIF-PIE participated in a police and magistrature training session on unlawful child treatment in a workshop on violence against girls and an ILO workshop on sex tourism in Dakar. They elaborated a National Child Protection [against exploitation] project for transmission to UNICEF, to different government authorities concerned with juvenile affairs and to the ECPAT International Secretariat.

Over the next year, ANAIF-PIE will monitor the adoption of the National Plan of Action as well as monitor judicial interventions regarding exploitation, care and support of child victims of CSEC. They will also engage in a number of awareness-raising ventures with authorities, elected representatives and the population about CSEC in Mauritania, organise seminars in Nouakchott, Nouadhibou and Rosso; and organise a child sex tourism awareness-raising seminar in Atar and Nouakchott.
