THE AFRICAN UNION: AMWCY gets an Observer Status at ACERWC

On the eve of International Youth Day, which was celebrated on November 20, 2012, the African Movement of Working Children and Youth received its Observer Status with the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child of the African Union. This historic moment for AMWCY derives from patient work accomplished during several years by children who live and work E in difficult situations alongside their supervisors, so that under- privileged sectors of the population may participate effectively in d decision making as regards public policies that concern them. In 2012, AMWCY had 445,353 members and well-wishers, inclu- i ding 172,254 members gathered into 3,028 grassroots groups, for- ming 311 associations in as many cities or clusters of villages in 24 t African countries. In 2012, thanks to AMWCY, hundreds of thousands of children and youth: o - were educated or made literate; - were protected against violence and abuse; r - were healthier; - performed jobs that are less difficult and demand less time; i - had more fun than ever before. Our Movement contributes daily to the emergence of an Africa a that is fit for her children, despite all kinds of difficulties. Wherever we were able to organize ourselves in Associations and Grassroots Groups, we remained at the forefront for the better- l ment of our communities' living conditions. C There is still a long way to go before children's rights are fulfilled. The Observer Status we have lately gained with the African Union is O an incentive that urges us to keep on following this path. Activities of the AMWCY, p2 For AMWCY, children represent the future of the world, and, as N such, we must protect them.

On November 16, 2012, AMWCY received the Observer Status with the African UnionAfrican Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child of the African Union (ACERWC). Many years of patient and steady lobbying conducted by Focus On theMA WCY resulted in this official acknowledgment of the efforts WCYs made to protect children and promote their rights. The African Committee of Experts on the AMWCY produced a document on the 12 rights; a document that makes a linkage with Rights and Welfare of the Child of the the articles of the Convention on the Rights of Children (CRC) and shows how the rights African Union (ACERWC) met from defined by WCYs and the African Union documents complement one other.

The AMWCY delegate presented the latest statistics of its Organization: its members and well-wishers, as well as the percenta- ge of boys and girls in 24 member coun- tries. WCY shared their contributions on African Child Day (June 16) which was celebrated on a large scale. Committee members were given copies of the Tounga 1 and 2 DVDs. They greatly appreciated those new experiences of African children regarding the expression and fulfillment of their rights.

Nairobi's CSO 2012 Forum reported back before panels got organized on different themes, particularly on "birth registra- tion". It was during an ad hoc session that applications for observer status were exa- mined. The AMWCY application was accepted.

The African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child is a document produ- ced and adopted by the African Union in July 1990. 52 countries (except Somalia and South Sudan) ratified it and signed commitments intended to protect children against any situation judged dangerous to them.

This 48-article document provides infor- mation on the definition of a child, situa- tions against which children should be protected, and the necessity for States to protect the rights of all children.

Grassroots Groups in Raffingora and Kadoma were able to provide tuition fees for 26 WCY, thanks to IGA products. Being fully responsible for their IGA, WCY plan to extend their support to more children in the coming years.
