Algeria marked World Day of Children's Rights with an Algiers forum on Sunday (November 21st), APS reported. National Foundation for Health Promotion and Research Development (FOREM) chief Mustapha Khiati told attendees that approximately 10,000 cases of child abuse are recorded every year in Algeria. According to Khiati, the number could be as high as 50,000, since many cases go unreported. He called on citizens to end their "passivity" regarding the crisis.
