375. A study conducted in 2013 and 2014 revealed the inadequacy of the national childhood policy document data developed in 2008. As a result, it became necessary to develop a new national childhood policy document taking into account new realities. Thus, a preliminary draft document is being developed. 376. The process of harmonization of a national legislation which culminated in the adoption of a new Criminal Code and the new Personal and Family Code made it possible to pay greater attention to the rights of children, women and people with disabilities. The Children’s Code has already incorporated the principles of non-discrimination in its Article 5. 377. The new Criminal Code penalizes pimping (Article 338 et seq) as well as child trafficking and forced labour. The results obtained include the following: - In 2012: 110 cases of child trafficking were recorded, 106 were investigated resulting in 80 prosecutions and 69 convictions; - In 2013: 85 cases of child trafficking were recorded, 81 were investigated resulting in 62 prosecutions and 40 convictions; - The development of a national social protection policy for vulnerable groups with an action plan in 2013; - The establishment of a centralised system for detection and referral of vulnerable and abused children, with the support of partners such as Terre des Hommes, UNICEF, Plan International-Togo, Agence Nationale de Solidarité ; national NGOs and even private companies; - Initiation of 70 young girls to the creation of micro- entreprises, at the end of their vocational training. 3.4- The right of the child to be registered at birth and to have a name 378. The registration of the child consolidates his right to the name. The name is given in accordance with provisions of the legislation including, the Children’s Code (Article 10 et seq) and the Personal and Family Code (Article 1 et seq). 379. Law No. 2009-2010 of 11 June, 2009 concerning the organisation of the birth and death registry in Togo lays down the principle of compulsory registration of births.
