Human Rights Watch and the Platform for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights documented the deaths of 16 talibé children in 2017 and 2018 from beatings, neglect or endangerment in Quranic schools in Senegal, and abuses in 8 of the country's 14 regions. Human Rights Watch estimates that more than 100,000 talibé children are forced by their teachers to beg daily, with quotas often enforced by beatings.
