Title of TA intervention
Evaluation of the phenomenon of trafficking in women and children for domestic
servitudes in Senegal
Request No.
TA/042/2016
1. Background
The following is a call to carry out technical assistance (TA) for the International
Organization for Migration (IOM) in the framework of the ACP-EU Migration
Action (hereinafter the “Action”). Background on the Action and its
organisational set-up can be found in the Action’s website
www.acpeumigrationaction.org.int
A request for technical assistance (TA) intervention from the Ministry of Justice,
and more specifically the Cellule Nationale de Lutte contre la Traite des
Personnes (C.N.L.T.P) has been received on 11/05/2016 and further approved
by the EC and the ACP Secretariat on the 16/09/2016 (see below description). In
relation to this, a baseline assessment has recently been written and submitted,
in light of which the IOM is now looking for a consultant to carry out technical
assistance.
Context of TA intervention:
‘La traite des personnes constitue une violation grave des droits de l’homme et
l’une des pires atteintes à la dignité humaine. Elle constitue un défi pour
l’ensemble des Etats, en particulier ceux de l’Afrique de l’Ouest. Elle est un
obstacle au développement, à l’Etat de droit et constitue une menace sérieuse à
la sécurité humaine du fait qu’elle affecte directement la vie des victimes. C’est
pourquoi le Gouvernement du Sénégal s’est résolument engagé dans la lutte
contre la traite des personnes. Pour se faire, il a ratifié la plupart des instruments
relatifs à la protection des femmes et des enfants et au respect des droits humains
et plus particulièrement, la convention des Nations Unies contre la criminalité
transnationale organisée visant à prévenir, réprimer et punir la traite des
personnes en particulier des femmes et des enfants, ainsi que son protocole
additionnel. En application de ces textes, la loi 2005/06 sur la traite des personnes
et pratiques assimilées a été adoptée et vient ainsi compléter les autres
dispositions contenues dans notre dispositif législatif.
Le Sénégal s’est, en outre, doté d’un plan d’action national contre la traite sous
toutes ses formes et a intensifié ses efforts en matière de lutte contre la traite en
créant une structure multisectorielle ayant mandat de coordonner l’exécution du
plan d’action national et d’autres opérations de lutte contre la traite : la Cellule
Nationale de Lutte contre la Traite des Personnes, en particulier les Femmes et les
Enfants (C.N.L.T.P).
Malgré tous ces efforts, il n’existe pas assez de données sur la traite des femmes
et des enfants par les servitudes domestiques. En outre, le peu de données sur le
sujet sont dispersées dans différents ministères et organismes, notamment les
corps policiers, les services frontaliers, les centres d’accueil, et les ONG, d’où la
nécessité d’avoir une analyse plus fiable sur les filières, les réseaux de trafiquants,
les cibles etc.

Par ailleurs, les conclusions du Dialogue ACP-UE sur la traite des personnes et le
trafic des migrants rappel entre autre sur son point 2 qu’une mise en œuvre
effective de la législation nationale sur ces deux phénomènes impliquent
également de s’attaquer effectivement aux différentes formes d’exploitation. En
outre, il est recommandé au point 5 desdites conclusions, l’amélioration de la
collecte des données à la fois sur la traite des personne et le trafic des migrants
car étant des prérequis pour définir des politiques efficientes et des actions
concrète. Une partie des recommandations du point 6 stipule la promotion d’une
approche accès sur les victimes afin de les protéger d’un point de vue droits
humain et d’un perspectif genre et mettre en place tous les moyens nécessaires
pour les identifier convenablement.’
