A specialist in children's rights and author of the RELIER method, Hierbine Aïcha Palé has been working to protect children and women, as well as build human relationships based on trust, dialogue, and cooperation. Her initiative, 'Weekend des Parents et de l'Enfant', aims to provide families with a space for reconnection and sharing, away from the daily tensions. The second edition of this event is scheduled to take place in November 2026.

The 'Weekend des Parents et de l'Enfant' initiative is part of a broader effort to promote child protection and family relations in Burkina Faso. The country's laws and regulations regarding parenting and child rights are currently being implemented, notably following the adoption of the new Code des personnes et de la famille in September 2025, with a focus on providing parents with the necessary tools to communicate effectively with their children. This includes initiatives such as parental education programs and counseling services.

The implementation of initiatives like 'Weekend des Parents et de l'Enfant' may set new precedents for child protection and family relations in Burkina Faso. Lawyers and compliance officers should pay attention to these developments, as they could have a significant impact on the country's laws and regulations regarding parenting and child rights. The success of such initiatives could also serve as a model for other countries in the region.

Lawyers and compliance officers should watch for the implementation of initiatives like the 'Weekend des Parents et de l'Enfant', which may set new precedents for child protection and family relations in Burkina Faso.
