The Gabonese government has launched a nationwide crackdown on child labor rings in the capital city of Libreville.
A joint mission involving the Ministry of Justice, security forces and social affairs has been deployed to target commercial areas and markets in Libreville.

Gladys Victoire Maganga, director of social affairs and youth protection, says the situation requires firm action.
The exploitation of child labor is not an economic necessity, but a crime punishable by law.
Disrupting trafficking networks
The authorities aim to identify commanditaires of these activities and bring them before justice, while providing a comprehensive support system for children rescued from these circuits.
