Background
\n<\/span><\/strong>In Burkina Faso pedophilia is an underground phenomenon that is extremely difficult to deal with. It can be carried out under the form of sexual exploitation of minors, for profit; or in street, school and family contexts; or also in situations of forced child marriage. In addition, due to the taboos on homosexuality in the country, the problem is even more difficult to address if the subject suffering from pedophilia is a young boy. Although organizations operating there report numerous cases, in Burkina Faso there is a lack of coordinated strategies and policies on a national level and a lack of interventions that provide the <\/span>victims with the information about their fundamental rights and about the support services available. In this context, the fact that the media don’t address directly the issue, is an obstacle for ensuring that this problem reaches the public debate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Experiences on the field have shown that the socio-cultural reluctance to accept the definition of pedophilia <\/em>is also very significant within the professional figures who should protect minors and who sometimes, on the contrary, contribute to the submergence of the phenomenon.<\/span><\/p>\n

General goal
\n<\/strong><\/span>Inform and raise awareness among citizens about the issue of pedophilia in Burkina Faso.<\/span><\/p>\n
