This project highlights the work of Najia Adib’s Touche Pas a Mes Enfants organization to combat the rising issues of pedophilia and child servitude in Morocco. Following the molestation of her son while in childcare, Adib broke the taboo of silence and turned her anger into a one-woman campaign to raise awareness of and seek tougher penalties for the exploitation of Moroccan children. To this end, Adib has accompanied abuse victims to pursue and achieve the prosecution of sex offenders, including her son’s aggressor, while receiving minimal technical and financial assistance from the Moroccan government. Following interviews with Adib and other key actors in global efforts to protect the rights of children, this project analyzes Adib’s achievements while problematizing the implicit structural, logistic, ideological and sociolinguistic limits to collaboration between grass roots activism and more comprehensive national and international efforts to defend the rights of children.
