evidence: A recent government survey found that more than 30,000 of Dakar’s 54,837 Koranic students practiced begging as part of their "education", said Awa Ndour, a representative of the Ministry of Justice’s anti-trafficking unit. [...] When President Macky Sall was elected in 2012, he promised to put an end to child begging and to improve the living conditions at Koranic schools. [...] Police must investigate the conditions of children found begging on the street and judges must enforce the laws and punish those found guilty of breaking them.
