495- Furthermore, authors of offences relating to slavery were also punished. In The People v Dairu Sanda Mbaa and Buinda Agnes Kwasinwi (Suit No. HCN/3/2015/ HC, Donga Mantung Judgment of 15 April 2015), the accused persons were convicted and sentenced to 3 years imprisonment, suspended for 3 years and with fine of CFAF60,000 for trafficking of children aged between 8 and 17 years from their Region of origin to work in plantations in the Centre Region. 496- Similarly, in Judgment No. HCMB/215C/2016 of 31 October 2017, The People v Chama Marceline (32 years) and Dugha Nicoline Nyonglemugha (39 years), the accused persons (2 women) stood trial for contravening the provisions of Section 2 (b) and 5 of Law No. 2011/24 of 14 December 2011, relating to the fight against trafficking in persons and slavery.

In 2018, the Project helped place 53 street children in independent jobs. 2: Children in Conflict with the Law 500 - Since resocialization is one of the main orientations of juvenile justice, the consolidation of structures and capacity development of different stakeholders was given priority with a view to better treatment of children in conflict with the law. 501- Since prison statistics showed that the number of minor detainees was higher than the number of convicts, more attention was paid to guaranteeing the effectiveness of alternative 310 See Section 2 The following institutions are concerned: Institution Camerounaise de l’Enfance, Netamba;Borstal Institute, Buea; Centre d’Accueil et d’Observation, Bepanda, and in Private Charity homes. 85 311
