This ranking corresponds to <strong>countries that meet the minimum standards and are making significant efforts to combat human trafficking<\/strong>. The ranking is based on a scale of values from 1 to 4, we have <strong>tier 1<\/strong>, <strong>tier 2<\/strong> <strong>for countries under surveillance<\/strong>, and <strong>tier 3<\/strong>.<\/p><p>It should be recalled that in 2010, C\u00f4te d&#8217;Ivoire was classified in tier 2 under surveillance and was due to regress in 2011 to tier 3, where it would be subject to US government sanctions, such as the embargo on Ivorian cocoa. But thanks to the personal commitment and determination of the First Lady, <strong>Mrs Dominique Ouattara<\/strong>, in the fight against child labor, C\u00f4te d&#8217;Ivoire has been reclassified in tier 2 several years in a row since 2012.<\/p><p>This regressive trend provides proof that the intensive awareness-raising and remedial actions carried out since 2012 by the National Oversight Committee of Actions for the Fight against Child Trafficking, Exploitation and Labor (CNS), headed by <strong>Mrs Dominique Ouattara<\/strong>, First Lady of C\u00f4te d&#8217;Ivoire, in collaboration with its national and international, bilateral and multilateral partners, are having a real impact on reducing the phenomenon on a national scale.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f784ecd elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f784ecd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"635\" src=\"https:\/\/dominiqueouattara.ci\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/inauguration-1024x635.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-43552\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dominiqueouattara.ci\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/inauguration-1024x635.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dominiqueouattara.ci\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/inauguration-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dominiqueouattara.ci\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/inauguration-768x476.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dominiqueouattara.ci\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/inauguration-200x124.jpg 200w, https:\/\/dominiqueouattara.ci\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/inauguration-484x300.jpg 484w, https:\/\/dominiqueouattara.ci\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/inauguration-590x366.jpg 590w, https:\/\/dominiqueouattara.ci\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/inauguration.jpg 1270w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-78a6986 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"78a6986\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">5.
