the iron arm really engaged between the ebullient captain Moussa Dadis Camara and the legal personnel in Guinea? Did the president of the junta threaten to put at the retirement all the magistrates who N? would not have resumed work on June 9. And yet, that N? was not enough to make bend the men of law.

The spokesman of the magistrates, Ali Thiam, however underlined: “we do not want and us N? let us have any intention D? to start an iron arm with the Dadis captain. The Dadis captain is the president of the Republic. We owe him the respect not only as a president of the Republic, but also as a president of the higher Council of the magistrature. And C? is for that which we wanted to attract his attention on this situation D? abandonment in which the magistrates are”.

With leaving their extraordinary general assembly, Tuesday, the magistrates decided to prolong their action. According to Kéléfa Sall, president of L? association of the magistrates of Guinea, it S? acts to continue: “the suspension of all our jusqu activities? with the total and entire satisfaction of our claims contained in the memorandum of May 13, 2009”.

L? did assembly decide that any interpellation D? a member of the legal body would mean that all the others are also prisoners. “When one challenges a lawyer or a magistrate, or a notary, a clerk or an auctioneer, all the legal personnel will feel concerned, and will constitute itself captive. Everywhere where L? D? between us will go, we will go all over there”, added Kéléfa Sall. It S? is also pronounced about the threats of retirement early: “all times qu? a magistrate will be put at the retirement before the normal date, which is 65 years according to our statute, all the magistrates regard himself as being put at the retirement”.

Gabon : Rose Francine Rogombé, chef d'Etat par intérim
Translations available in: French (original) | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | English | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Gabon: Rose Francine Rogombé, Head of State by interim
Automatically translated into English thanks to WorldLingo
Libreville appointed Tuesday its Head of the State by interim, the president of the Senate Pink Francine Rogombé, which lent oath and taken its functions this Wednesday in the strict respect of the constitutional way after the death in Spain of Omar Bongo Ondimba. Rose Francine Rogombé has the role of leading the country until the organization, in the 45 days at the latest, of a presidential poll in which it will not be able to take part.

Source: Rfi

the ceremony took place at 11 a.m. in the city of the Democracy. Did Rose Francine Rogombé lend oath in front of the constitutional Court and the two offices of the Senate and L? National Parliament.

In January 2006, C? is in this same room that president Bongo had lent oath for his last mandate, which owed S? to complete in 2012. The ceremony of this morning is a great symbol.

In 49 years D? independence of Gabon, Mrs Rogombé, will become the third president of the Republic. However, it N? has that thirty days, at least, forty-five at most, to pass to the report heading. Its log book is clear: to organize funerals of the late president, and especially to organize L? presidential election, to which it could not be candidate. C? is thus a true race against the clock which begins aujourd? today.

Rose Francine Rogombé, portrait

the woman who became, this Wednesday morning, president of the Gabonese Republic is a minor figure but it is not therefore a personality without relief. At 66 years, Rose Francine Rogombé knows at the same time mysteries of the party founded by Omar Bongo, the chairman (the Gabonese democratic Party), and those of the capacity; it was several times Secretary of State between 1975 and 1990, before being elected with the head of the Senate last February.

Native from Lambaréné, set on religion, it obtained a licence of theology in 2007. But Rose Francine Rogombé is especially a lawyer famous. Gabonese first magistrate, it became with time a specialist in the constitutional law. After its election with the head of the Senate it entrusted to want only one thing, the respect of the Constitution. A creed which takes a particular relief in this transitional period where it will lead the country until the presidential election.

That which mainly owes its career with his/her two spiritual fathers, Omar Bongo and George Rawiri, the former president of the Senate, was undoubtedly not a major actress of the Gabonese political life of these last years. But this discretion and this relative neutrality will be its best assets perhaps tomorrow.

TIC et développement durable : une nouvelle chaire Microsoft-CNRS-Polytechnique
Translations available in: French (original) | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | English | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

TIC and durable development: a new Microsoft-CNRS-Polytechnic pulpit
Automatically translated into English thanks to WorldLingo
Microsoft, the polytechnic School and CNRS presented their project of creation of pulpit more effectively to solve the problems involved in the durable development using the Tics.
Sandrine Chicaud

Two great questions arise around the NTIC and of the durable development: how to make so that these technologies are respectful environment? And what can make the TIC for the durable development? It is with this second question which the new pulpit wants to answer”, summarizes the general of division Xavier Michel, directing general of the polytechnic School, which already created five pulpits around the durable development.

Inaugurated officially Wednesday June 3, 2009, in Palaiseau, this pulpit, entitled Optimization and durable development (OSD-optimization & sustainable development), is fruit of a collaboration between the polytechnic School, CNRS and Microsoft. It aims at developing techniques and tools for optimization which could be applied to real problems involved in the durable development. “It calls upon very different competences like data processing, operations research, the programming or the algorithmic one”, explains Veronique Donzeau-Gouge, scientific director associated within the Institute of sciences and information and engineering technologies (INST2I) of the CNRS which gathers 170 units of research, of which an about sixty in data processing.
Does the pulpit recruit ten people

the pulpit is animated by Philippe Baptiste, researcher at CNRS and director of the data-processing research laboratory of the polytechnic School (the LIX/CNRS) and by Youssef Hamadi, of Microsoft Research Cambridge? one of the laboratories of the Microsoft Research which counts, on the whole, nearly 800 people in world (data processing specialists, sociologists, mathematicians, physicists, etc).

For the editor, this new partnership intervenes two years after having set up a research center with Inria in Saclay. In 2008, Microsoft also created a center of European technological development, dedicated to research on Internet (Search) and to mobility (Search technological center). “All these partnerships proceed of the same logic: to develop the innovation, to create jobs and to pose the stakes of a durable growth”, specify Eric Boustouller, president de Microsoft France.

Today, the pulpit is in phase of recruitment to constitute a team of ten researchers and doctorands. During the first two years, it will tie bonds with teams of academic and industrial research, will refine the set of themes of research and will work out the first prototypes of tools.

Workshops of work and seminars will be regularly organized, giving place to publications, largely diffused. A thing is sure: the pulpit has bread on the board to imagine applications in the field of the durable development, extremely varied. For example, to create services on line innovating in the E-trade which at the same time make it possible to reduce displacements, to decrease pollution related to transport, while controlling their energy cost.

Lastly, for the three large actors, the new pulpit is also “a direct consequence” of the effect of regrouping within the Pole of research of the plate of Saclay where is located Digiteo Labs, the first park of research of world scale in the field of sciences and technologies information in Island-of-France.

Les droits de l'Homme
Translations available in: French (original) | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | English | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Human rights
Automatically translated into English thanks to WorldLingo
60 years after the universal declaration, the defense of the human rights always does the One of the topicality. Violated basic rights, ridiculed freedoms… Many associations fight to protect our personal freedoms and collective in France like abroad.

Which future for the human rights?
On December 10, 1948, the 58 Member States which constituted L? Did general meeting of the United Nations adopt the universal Declaration of the rights of L? Man in Paris with the Palate of Chaillot. Then qu? one S? aujourd prepares? today to celebrate its sixtieth birthday, the death penalty or tortures it, the violences made to the women, L? implication D? do children in wars, or terrorism remain the daily newspaper of million D? human beings. However of many associations mobilize themselves to make recognize these rights and protect the victims.

To abolish the death penalty and to denounce torture

If France has abolished the death penalty for more than 25 years, on October 9, 1981, it are only very recently, in October 2007, that the French National Assembly ratified, without modification and in first reading, the two protocols abolishing this practice “in all circumstances”, is also in times of war.
In the world, the year 2007 was remembered by the abolition of the capital punishment in many States (Ouzbékistan, Gabon, New Jersey…). According to the report published by Amnesty International, 99 countries abolished the death penalty in 2006, which represents a notable projection. However 69 countries practise it always today. 3.861 people were officially condemned to died this same year, 20.000 wait to be killed and 1591 was carried out.
The case of China is particularly worrying. Whereas it is on the point of accomodating the Olympic Games next August, the capital punishment is still applicable there for 68 crimes and offences, including non-violent infringements such as the corruption, the flight of cattle or tax evasion. Benefitting from this window open on the world, nine French and international associations, joined by very diverse associations, create the Collective China 2008 Olympics. Its objective: to draw the attention of the world opinion to the projections necessary in the field of the human rights. “In 2001, the Chinese government had promised notable projections as regards human rights. Seven years later and in only 6 months of the OJ, the projections are always awaited… ”, one however reads still on Internet site of Ensemble association Against the Death penalty.

To fight against the violence made to the women

Social, family, sexual, even used as weapons of war, the violences made to the women are numerous. In spite of the ratification in 1979 by the General meeting of the United Nations, of a Convention on the elimination of all the forms of discrimination with regard to women (CEDAW), these violences continue.
In Burundi for example, Médecins without Borders recorded between 2004 and 2006, during the civil war, 1346 cases of rapes or sexual violences, are 26 per week. In Democratic Republic of Congo, these violences were standardized and develop in all the country, the criminals profiting from a strange impunity. “The Congolese government had taken a step while adopting, more than one year ago, two laws on the repression of sexual violences, but they remain unapplied to date”, confirms a report published by the FIDH (International Federation of the Leagues of the Human rights) in November 2007. However women mobilize themselves, in particular in the Maghreb and the Middle East, and lead publicity campaigns to the regional level as national to as well support the victims, to take medical care and psychological, to support their reintegration in the company.
Other associations as Avocats without Border develop programs of accompaniment to contribute to the legal rebuilding of the countries in difficulty. They fight thus against impunity, work in favour of the right to the equitable lawsuit and contribute to the reinforcement of the State of right.

To protect the children

“Each day, more than 26.000 children of less than 5 years die in the world, of causes which for the majority could have been prevented”, estimates the UNICEF in his report/ratio 2008 relating to the right of the child. Malnutrition, diseases, wounds… the causes are numerous. Even if it remains much to make, international measurements and the action of ONG start to bear their fruits. In 2006 for the first time, one noted a fall of the mortality of the child of less than 5 years of 60%.
To protect the child, it is to also to save all forms of violence him. In 1989, 191 countries ratified the International Convention of the rights of the child, first text aiming at banishing the recourse to the children soldiers. However this convention is addressed to the States, which leaves to faculty with the nonofficial groups armed with enrôler the children according to their goodwill. “One currently estimates at 250.000 the number of children used by the groups and the forces armed throughout the world”, write Manuel Fountain, adviser “child welfare” with the UNICEF and Henri Leblanc, responsible for programs to the UNICEF France. Fighting this plague, the UNICEF is committed actively by financing programs dedicated to the assumption of responsibility of the children associated with armed entities. Thus in Central African Republic, 450 children were slackened thanks to the signature of an agreement between association, the government and one of the armed groups.

In France also, the Human rights must be respected

If France appears for much like the “fatherland of the human rights”, it is still far from all to respect them. Rights to housing, work, education or the culture, respect of the right of asylum or fight against poverty… Each year, on October 17, association DTA Fourth World takes part in the world Day of the refusal of misery. An occasion to recall that extreme poverty also exists in France and that the vigilance of the citizens remains fundamental to protect the most stripped.

L'emploi et l'insertion chez les jeunes
Translations available in: French (original) | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | English | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Employment and insertion in the young people
Automatically translated into English thanks to WorldLingo
Discrimination at the time of recruitment, misses relational network, access to the employment under qualified in spite of high diplomas… the young people resulting from immigration, sensitive districts or rural zones are still too often excluded from the company. Associations work with the daily newspaper to bring closer young people and undertaken and to give to diversity a true professional dimension.

Young people, employment and diversity, gaining tiercé
If the unemployment of the young people is an alarming question, the equal opportunity remains still today in France a concept to be imposed. Discrimination at the time of recruitment or victims of the prejudices, misses relational network, access to the employment under qualified in spite of high diplomas… the young people resulting from immigration, sensitive districts or rural zones pain to be integrated professionally. However their competences are numerous and their will to undertake unlimited.

To carry the initiative as of the school

Tutorats of companies, lawyer interventions or contractors in the colleges, conventions of priority to allow to the pupils underprivileged districts to integrate large schools, standard education Sciences Po or Essec… The initiatives multiply. Today the government has just decided the creation of classes of excellence gathering the best pupils of each level to make them profit from a teaching worthy of the best establishments… However and even if they have ideas, the young people doubt their competences or always do not know with which to address itself. This is why Ashoka association, has presented today in 70 countries, develops for 15 years a program “Jeun-E-S” which aims at financially accompanying them as well as by a setting in network, to develop their confidence in them. We intervene as of the college, in their saying “launch you, we can help you”, explains Catherine Leroy-Jay Fredet, in charge of the communication of Ashoka. It is a question of learning how to them to organize itself and of allowing young people of suburbs of côtoyer of other universes to break what they call the “syndrome themselves of the peripheral”. Fear of going to the meeting of a world which they do not know.

To make evolve/move the company

With equal diploma, the candidatures of the young people resulting from popular districts are rejected 4 times out of 5 and employment that one proposes to them remains in on this side theirs qualification level. However 500.000 employment is still not provided, explains Said Hammouche, directing general and founder of association Mozaik RH. All would these efforts be thus ineffective? Because the young people, even surdiplômés, remain confronted with the painful question of the prejudices and the difference. With the image of this 26 years West-Indian young person, holder of a Vat +5. “One speaks to me only about my beautiful country, the sun and the sea during my talks of recruiting, never of my competences, nor of the station to which I postulate”. Today it thus seems necessary to work with the services of human resources of the companies. It is necessary to show that diversity generates richness and to make evolve mentalities to a spirit of opening, adds Said Hammouche. The step of this dynamics contractor is double. On a side, association builds action plans to measure and adapted to the problems and the culture of each company. Other, it locates the candidates within the districts and accompanies them in their research by employment thanks to a network by voluntary professionals. We propose individual or collective workshops to allow them to improve their presentation, to help them to convince or to transmit the codes of the company to them to which them modest medium did not give them access.

To support the creation and the development of projects

professional integration also passes by the creation of companies. More than very other, the young people of the districts need to be accompanied. Initially to make the projects possible and realistic, then to profit from a technical assistance and human. They have evil to identify the structures which could support them, explains Abdellah Aboulharjan, founder of Young contractors of France. This is why it is important to go to their meeting and to help them to define their needs. Originating in Mantes La Jolie, I met myself these difficulties (access to the financings, put in network, knowledge of the regulation…). The young people whom I see today thus make us naturally confidence. After four businesss year, Jeunes contractors of France draws up a positive assessment. 400 carriers of projects were thus accompanied and the rate of viability amounts to 75%. A significant figure which reveals the interest of an engagement of proximity.

L'aide au développement:Apporter aux populations pauvres les compétences utiles pour leur permettre de mieux vivre à long terme sans dépendre de l'aide internationale, c'est l'enjeu du développement
Translations available in: French (original) | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | English | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Development aid: To bring to the poor populations useful competences to enable them best to live long-term without depending on the international assistance, it is the stake of the development
Automatically translated into English thanks to WorldLingo
Keys of the development

How to help the countries of the south to develop? Lighting on the keys of a successful and durable development.

To nourish the fisherman, does not offer to him fish, learn how him to fish. “The development, translated Frederique William for the French Association of the volunteers of progress, consists in bringing competences useful to somebody who in A need to survive and live under better conditions. ». A broad definition, with the image of a step with variable geometry. In a dynamics of solidarity on a worldwide scale, the development gathers actors as different as local associations, local authorities or financial authorities; it is spread in sectors as distant as education, transport or fishing, and is illustrated as well in the countries of the South in the Western quarter-world.

To develop the basic services

stake: to put a term at a which gallop poverty and a distribution of the richnesses increasingly more unequal. Being alarmed at a fall of income which perdure in 54 countries, located, for the majority, in sub-Saharan Africa, the world report/ratio 2003 on the human development (published by UNO) encourages the authorities to develop the basic services. “The poor countries need rural centers of health, schools, roads, drinking water, sanitary facilities. The investment intended to meet the vital needs is not only desirable to put a term at the human suffering; it is also a key element in a strategy of economic growth. ”

To attack the causes of the poverty

Of the problems such as malnutrition, illiteracy or a discriminatory access to the basic services for the women, the rural ones and the ethnic minorities are certainly symptoms of poverty but constitute of it also the cause. The éradiquer is thus a priority! It is what the organizations of international solidarity included/understood: they thus devote their larger expenditure to the sectors of health, education and the rural development, knowing that their investments relate to in priority Africa and the Indian Ocean, then Asia.

A joint action

How to improve the living conditions of a population while supporting its economic and financial autonomy? All the actors of ground preach a joint action, since the need assessment until the financing and with the setting opens projects of them. An academic case among others, carried out by Engineers without Borders: supply drinking water in the area of Kayes, in Mali. “In the village of Fanga, it is not the access to the water which poses problem, but the drinking water defect: it is the cause of 70% of the diseases in rain season. ” In partnership with local authorities, the team supported the realization of a system of provisioning, led a public awareness campaign medical and trained the villagers to the autonomous management of the exploitation.

A durable development is a suitable development

Another requirement for a successful development: to take into account the practices of the populations, to develop their traditions. To improve the living conditions implies process of a social and economic transformation; this one will be effective only if the buildings can adapt it. To slow down the rural migration in Mauritania, the Association of the volunteers of progress thus put on the co-operatives of women to support food self-sufficiency in the oases. These women were made and profited of microphone-credits time that their exploitation is profitable. In the same idea, Structures and development supports the use of materials and local know-how for the habitat. According to Sandra d' Urzo, person in charge for programs, “To benefit from competences of the populations, without forgetting the climatic and natural context, is the best means of restarting dies of activities”.

To exploit the dynamic carrying ones

To invest in creative activities of employment, like the textile or the manufacturing sector is essential. A priority that Agrisud assigns: “The creation of a basic economic fabric passes by small-scale farmings or companies for which it is necessary to ensure a broad outlet for trade. ” This association identifies other the dynamic carrying ones: the young people, who represent more half of the population in the poor countries, the agricultural sector, the entreprenariat, saving and the credit. “The organizations of international solidarity are not satisfied more than one simple financial support”, concludes Emmanuel Fagnou, executive director of Southern Coordination. “They intervene primarily in reinforcement of the actors of the civil company. ”

Does the development try you?

Currently, the majority of ONG act on two faces. Over there, to the South, they lead actions of development with the local populations; here, in France, they sensitize the public with the context of the development, including macro-economic: it is what one calls education with the development. With the daily newspaper, for example, to buy equitable, save interdependent, sponsor a child are acts which count. You can also take part in campaigns of information or lobbying, as that which Agir carries out Here to reform the institutional financial institutions. If the development tries you, divide into sheets the repertory of the actors of international solidarity, published by Ritimo.

The school elsewhere: L? education is a right for all. However, 115 million D? children in the world in age D? to be provided education for are not it. War, natural disaster, poverty?
Automatically translated into English thanks to WorldLingo
For 115 million children in the world in age to receive a primary education teaching, the school re-entry will not take place. Because they were born in a ravaged place by the war or poverty, the children of the developing countries are condemned to work or, worse, to fight. In Afghanistan, in Haiti, in democratic Republic of Congo or elsewhere, education is a priority but not always a reality.

Ambition and the facts

unrealistic Objective? D? here 2015, all the children of the world must be provided education for in the primary education. C? is L? commitment entered into by the international community. “Won't the goal perhaps be reached in all the countries in 2015”, recognizes D? start Nicholas Burnett, director of the world report/ratio of follow-up of the program “L? Education for all”, directed by L? UNESCO. Nearly 115 million D? children in the world in age to receive a primary education teaching are not provided education for. That is to say approximately 20% D? private children of this basic right, according to L? UNICEF, which puts in? uvre of the actions D? education with the four corners of the sphere. Among the areas which show the greatest delay: L? Sub-Saharan Africa and L? South Asia. Eight children not provided education for on ten live indeed in these stripped zones, often torn by conflicts.

The school, one second chance

Reprocessed of L? Did UNESCO, André Lokisso create L? association Assistance to L? integration of the children demobilized (AIED) to reintegrate the children soldiers in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). “More than are 38.000 children soldiers enrôlés as of L? 7 years age in groups armed in DRC. The majority are doped, much illiterate, are reached diseases, some obliged to devote itself to practices cannibals. Lorsqu? they are demobilized, they are completely traumatisés and potentially delinquents”, entrusts it. L? did association develop a pilot scheme of rehabilitation of these children, based on L? acquisition D? a basic education and formation with a trade. One estimates at more than 300.000, the number D? children soldiers in the world.
In Haiti, country marked by years of dictatorship, misery and violence, partly devastated by the Jeanne cyclone in 2004, L? ONG Helps and Action supports, it, the Community schools. Those are “the fruit of the mobilization of the villagers who manage with the means of the edge to build the buildings and to recruit the professors. But, fault D? engagement of L? Are State, the villagers delivered to themselves and miss financial resources, then we bring a material support to them and we play a part of coordination”, details Gilles Oddos, realizer of two films in Haiti for L? does association born in 1981 and present aujourd? today in a score of country.
Another ravaged nation: L? Afghanistan. In do Kabul, approximately 50.000 children work in the streets to wash cars, to wax shoes, to collect papers? As much which suffers from hunger, diseases, ill-treatment, violence or D? slave system. In this country struck by 25 years of war, “the lack D? is infrastructures and of teaching personnel shouting”, affirms Edouard Gaultier, director of L? association Afghanistan Demain, which intervenes since February 2002 in favour of L? education of the children of the streets. Three centers of L? do association accomodate in the capital the old Afghans between 8 and 18 years to give them on level and to allow them D? to integrate L then? public school. “In general, one manages to convince the families of L? interest, for their child, D? to learn how to read and write. But one encounters two principal difficulties: precariousness, source D? instability, which lead them to leave Kabul, and L? abandonment of the girls, withdrawn of L? school for cultural reasons”, specifies Edouard Gaultier.

Quality and followed teaching: crucial points

S? to ensure what do the schoolboys buckle a complete cycle D? primary education teaching and to remove the disparities between the sexes: are such precisely the missions of L? Matter D UNICEF? education. “L? stake N? is not L so much? does inscription of the children that the continuation of the schooling of the boys like girls, explain Carole Reminy, person in charge for the service plea education youth with L? UNICEF France. In some countries, as in Madagascar, the rate D? inscription exceeds 90% but they are only 30% to 40%, approximately, to complete their primary studies”. For this reason L? requirement D? an education for all S? also by that D accompanies? a training of quality and follow-up. “Certain countries, in Latin America for example, are about to fill L? objective of schooling of all the children. The hine, it, reduced the number of its illiterates considerably. And was the fastest progress recorded in the countries less in advance (Africa of L? West, India), note the director of the world report/ratio of follow-up of “L? Education for all”, Nicholas Burnett. However, it moderates, the quality of the courses remains problematic. ” Of the classes which count jusqu? with 80 schoolboys, last teachers Master in L? art D? a harping without real educational value? “It S? does not only act to make come the children with L? does school”, add Carole Reminy, of L? UNICEF, L? ONG? uvrant as much to provide meals to L? school and of the school material, that to train teachers. L? stake is capital, as underlines it Aide and Action: nothing less than “the human development”.

It N? y does not have a zone in particular. We intervene on all the continents: L? South America, L? Africa, L? Asia. When the countries become more looking like Thailand for example, the imposters move towards countries bordering like Kampuchea or Laos.

In all the poor countries where the sun is shining, of the teenagers or the children are male prostitutes or sexually deceived by travellers in evil of strong feelings. Would this enormous market, not easily quantifiable because of its clandestinity, touch, according to L? UNICEF, several million people in the world. It N? ceased developing with L? rise of the voyages at low prices these twenty last years.

A not easily applicable repression

Of many countries began to take measures to fight against this phenomenon. Thailand for example, adopted very repressive but often inapplicable laws because of the lack of training of the police force and the corruption which gangrene country. Same manner, several European states as France since 1994 are aujourd? today equipped with the territorial extra laws allowing qu? a French imposter acting with L? foreigner can be continued and condemned in his own country. However, this procedure remains heavy and very exceptional. Then how to act to fight effectively against this true plague which destroys each day the life of tens of thousands D? individuals?

To act in the countries providers of tourists

According to the majority of the specialized organizations, the most effective initiatives in the long run are on the ground of the prevention. For Jacqueline Bruas, president of L? Does association Counter the Prostitution of Children (ACPE), “one needs D? access to act in the countries providers of tourists so that mentalities change. ”
Within this framework, people that L? one can sensitize are numerous. Does its organization come D? to publish a booklet which is regularly distributed near the students in BTS tourism and is accompanied by conferences integrated into the course of formation: “They are the future persons in charge for world tourism. For this reason, they should be informed as soon as possible to make the good decisions S? they are one day confronted with cases D? sexual abuse. ”

L? End Child Prostitution And Trafficking in children for sexual purposes (ECPAT) tries to target all the people who are led one day to travel. “We collaborate with many tour operators to install the tools D? does information bound for the tourists”, explain Carole Bartoli, in charge of the development near L? ECPAT France. Do its actions pass by campaigns D? posting in the airports, of the vidéos diffused during the flights which point out the risks incurred for L? author of the abuses, the inserts in the principal guides of voyages, of the banners on sites of voyages, leaflets distributed in the center of vaccination. The tourist must be informed with all the stages of his voyage. “These initiatives pursue a double goal. They aim at discouraging that which would be tempted to make L? abuse but also responsabiliser the witness of such facts so qu? he prevents the authorities. ”

To sensitize the local populations

But the prevention of sexual tourism does not concern only the prospective customers. It is also necessary to act near the populations which of near or by far are victims of this traffic. Thus L? Did ECPAT set up a true policy D? information bound for the poorest families which often send to one their children to the city under L? influence recruiters. « Nous passons dans les villages et nous proposons des animations ludiques, des pièces de théâtre pour aborder ce sujet encore tabou dans de très nombreuses communautés rurales », rappelle Carole Bartoli.
For Sandra Ayad, member of the Foundation Seal, an organization which fights against the prostitution in the world, the fight against this phenomenon must concentrate on the sensitizing of young people: “In much of country, the children are very early delivered to themselves. They regard the fact of monnayer their body as something of normal because they N? D do not have? other alternatives to survive. Schooling and L? do education allow them D? to consider another future. They give them average D? to be autonomous and make it possible to them to say not”.
