In Chad, the war on poverty has begun. All the failing sectors are being registered, examined and analyzed to find the right orientation for stimulating new development. Among the problems is a recent phenomenon concerning child labor. Poverty is forcing parents to send their children to work as herders among stockbreeders for a year. In return, they receive a calf. Is the child an item of trade? How does this practice, which is no secret, continue without impunity? What are a child’s right? Former child herders speak. Their parents too. The authorities must find solutions and put an end to this practice.
