Child Trafficking; traditional housing; child labour

In Côte d'Ivoire, farmers are not the sole individuals who employ children in the practice of their activity as suggested by the public and political opinion. The activity of the construction of traditional houses or Dahomey houses" also exposes "the little workers" from a Beninese child trafficking to several types of risks, no doubt, in all ignorance of the original parents. In the agricultural area of Bangolo, farmers seek after Beninese for the construction of Dahomey housings or "Atakora swa" in Akan language. This activity which they hold the monopoly has enabled them to economically integrate this new living space. But this integration is probably at the expense of children whose involvement in the construction of these housings has grown.
