WORKER RIGHTS – [d]
Many young Muslim children sent to live with a Koranic
master for instruction in Arabic, Islam, and the Koran worked for the teacher
as payment. Children often were sent from rural areas to Concluding Observations Of The Committee On The Rights Of
The Child (CRC) UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, 29 January 1999 www1.umn.edu/humanrts/crc/guinea1999.html [accessed 8 February 2011] [31] The Committee is concerned
about the growing number of children who, owing inter alia
to rural exodus, poverty, and violence and abuse within the family, have to
live and/or work on the streets and therefore are deprived of their
fundamental rights and exposed to various forms of exploitation. The
Committee recommends that the State party undertake research on the issue of children
living and/or working on the streets as a basis for adopting appropriate
programs and policies for the protection and rehabilitation of these children
and the prevention of this phenomenon International Rescue Committee
