Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>The United Nations (UN) Special Rapporteur on the sale and sexual exploitation of children, Ms Mama Fatima Singhateh, called on the Minister of Gender Equality and Family Welfare, Mrs Kalpana Devi Koonjoo-Shah, in Port Louis, this afternoon.
\nDiscussions focused, among others, on the Children\u2019s Act, which had been promulgated in January this year, and the upcoming Report on Child Revenge Pornography.
\nThe UN Human Rights Council, which has appointed Ms Singhateh as Special Rapporteur in March, has mandated the latter to conduct country visits and promote strategies to prevent and combat the sale and sexual exploitation of children.
\nThe objective of her 10-day mission is to assess the progress made by Mauritius in combating and preventing the sale and sexual exploitation of children since the last country visit in May 2011.
\nSeveral meetings with representatives of the executive, legislature and judiciary, local and municipal authorities, civil society organisations, members of the international community, as well as children are scheduled during her visit.
\nIssues that will also be examined by the UN Human Rights expert include the protection of children against sexual exploitation, child marriage, child-trafficking for sexual exploitation, the exploitation of children living in the streets, and the sale of children through illegal adoptions. Following her mission in Mauritius, Ms Singhateh will present a comprehensive report at a forthcoming session of the Human Rights Council.<\/p>\n
