In order to combat this phenomenon, Côte d'Ivoire has signed bilateral and multilateral agreements. These are : - A bilateral agreement with Mali to combat cross-border trafficking of children ", September 1, 2000 in Bouaké; - A Multilateral Agreement on Cooperation to combat child trafficking in West Africa with eight ECOWAS countries on July 27, 2005 in Abidjan; - An agreement with Burkina Faso to combat cross-border trafficking of children, and a Joint Statement of the First Ladies which marks their commitment to work for its implementation on October 17, 2013 in Abidjan. These legal instruments, which represent a major advance in the fight against child trafficking, attempt to grasp concretely the phenomenon of cross-border trafficking between countries by setting out specific rules of conduct for each of the contracting parties and defining a set of shared obligations. And especially, for the first time, by giving a definition legal of child trafficking, with specific components, and clear indications of those who are victims and actors. These agreements provide, among others, a commitment to return at the request of the contracting Parties, of the authors and accomplices of child trafficking or facilitate their handing over from police to police and help support the repatriation of child victims with partners’ support. In 2009, a police cooperation agreement was also signed in order to proceed to the arrest of individuals suspected or wanted for crimes related to child trafficking. This agreement allowed the realisation of a joint police operation between Cote d’Ivoire and Burkina Faso in 2009 called "Operation BIA" in the Aboisso region in Cote d’Ivoire and Ghana. This operation initiated by Interpol Cote d’Ivoire Office with support from Interpol Lyon Office consisted in conducting an extensive campaign against the speaker traffickers operating between the two countries. In November 2012, a sensitisation tour of Security Forces was held in police districts, police stations and corridors of Abidjan regarding child trafficking, unaccompanied children in transporting vehicles, children victims, children in conflict with the law and children witnesses. From 11 to 15 February 2014, a second police operation called "Operation NAWA" was organised in the Soubré region. It aimed to arrest and detain the perpetrators of trafficking and those who exploit children, to develop a territorial network in the intervention area, remove, provide care and return children victims to their family and ensure their follow-up through social centres. 5.7 Abuse and neglect (art. 19) including physical and psychological recovery and social reintegration (art. 39) R. 37: The Committee recommends that the State party undertake studies on domestic violence, ill-treatment and abuse of children, including sexual violence, in order to know the extent and nature of these practices, to adopt the necessary measures and policies and contribute to changing attitudes. The Committee also recommends that cases of domestic violence and sexual abuse in schools are subject to a proper investigation in the context of child-friendly judicial proceedings and that perpetrators are punished, while ensuring respect for the privacy of the child.
