Mauritius: Adoption Bill Will Safeguard Children's Rights and Protect Them From Abuses, Says Minister Jadoo-Jaunbocus

press release

Adoption should not be seen as a right or entitlement on the part of parents but should be instead guided by what is best for the child. It is imperative to view adoption through the prism of the rights of the child wherein prominent consideration should be vested on the welfare and best interest of the child.

The Minister of Gender Equality, Child Development and Family Welfare, Mrs. Roubina Jadoo-Jaunbocus made this statement this morning, at the opening ceremony of a validation workshop on the draft of the Adoption's Bill, at the Pearl Beach Hotel in Flic-en Flac. The Ambassador of the European Union (EU) to the Republic of Mauritius, Mrs. Marjaana Sall, was also present on the occasion.
