CRC/C/DZA/CO/3-4 continue to be subjected to the worst forms of child labour, especially in agriculture, as vendors in the streets and as domestic servants. 72. The Committee reiterates its recommendation that the State party continue to take effective measures to put an end to the economic exploitation of children, in particular in the informal sector and to take urgent measures to remove children from hazardous work in the agriculture sector, from street work and domestic work. The Committee urges the State party to speed up the adoption process of the new Labour Code and ensure that the code fully covers children working in the informal sector and define the types of hazardous work prohibited under the age of 18 as already recommended by the ILO Committee of Experts on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations (2010 Direct Request concerning Convention No.182). The Committee also recommends that the State party consider ratifying the ILO Convention No. 189 concerning decent work for domestic workers. The Committee further recommends that the State party seek technical assistance from the International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour of the International Labour Office (ILO-IPEC) in this regard. Children in street situations 73. The Committee is concerned that insufficient measures have been taken by the State party to implement its previous recommendations concerning children in street situations and that the State party considers the phenomenon as marginal, although no data has been collected since 2008 and that thousands of children are reported to live on the streets. The Committee also expresses particular concern about the insufficient measures taken to provide assistance and housing to repudiated, divorced and single mothers living on the streets with their children. 74. The Committee urges the State party to take urgent and vigorous measures to address the situation of women living with their children on the streets as recommended by the Special Rapporteur on violence against women (A/HRC/17/26/Add.3, para. 82 (b) and (c)) and in particular to ensure that they receive preferential access to subsidized State housing. The Committee also reiterates its previous recommendations to the State party (CRC/C/15/Add.269, par. 77) in particular the recommendation that the State party develop and implement a comprehensive strategy, with the active participation of street children themselves, non-governmental organizations and other relevant professionals, to address the root causes of the phenomenon of street children, with the aim of reducing and preventing it. Sexual exploitation and abuse 75. The Committee expresses deep concern that sexual abuse against children in school, including religious schools, incest and pedophilia are on the rise in the State party. In this context, the Committee is concerned that article 336 of the Arabic version of the Penal Code defines rape as an attack on so-called “honour” and that rapists therefore may avoid punishment by marrying the girl they raped and “expunging the dishonour”. The Committee is also concerned about the weak enforcement of existing legislation, child victims of sexual exploitation and abuse being discouraged or afraid of reporting rape, ostracized and stigmatized and law enforcement officials often failing to take accusations seriously and to investigate and prosecute the cases. 76. The Committee urges the State party to take more proactive action to fight sexual abuse and exploitation. In particular, the Committee urges the State party: 18
