If in several countries, not to say everywhere in the world, the problem of street children has persisted for decades, this phenomenon is recent in the Southern provinces. Indeed, solidarity and low demographics have always contributed to eradicating this phenomenon which, beyond street children, concerns vagrants, the mentally ill, and the homeless who populate the streets of almost all the cities of the South. But we have observed, for a few years, a clear increase in the number of street children and the mentally ill. The regional human rights commission of the Laâyoune-Smara region, aware of these problems, is trying to draw the attention of those responsible. It is in this context that it organised, on Wednesday 18 July, a study day on this problem, in order to draw the attention of the populations and the authorities and try to find solutions capable of eradicating this scourge, still new to the inhabitants of this region. This was the subject that Fatiha Lakri, an associative actor and member of the regional commission, addressed in her presentation. She declared to Libe that her presentation highlighted this scourge that spares no country in the world, whether it be one of the wealthiest or one of the poorest. She indicated to us that the organisation of this day aimed to draw attention to this problem and put everyone, authorities, civil society, and populations, before their responsibilities. Fatiha Lakri's presentation was supported by a documentary produced by the regional channel of Laâyoune which had given the floor to street children to express their points of view and their problems, while explaining the reasons that led them to flee the family home. It should be noted that different parties took part in this study day. Notably representatives of law enforcement, local authorities, and civil society. The discussions were very instructive, according to Salek Ben Aouisse, another associative actor who participated in the work of this day which, he adds, focused on the problems of children, their needs, and the help that can be provided to them by the various stakeholders in local affairs.
