Senegalese Minister of Women, Family, and Child Protection, Maimouna Dieye, provided clarifications on the use of 2.3 billion FCFA allocated for victims of violence during the period 2021-2023. The funds are part of a government compensation program for those affected by political and social unrest in Senegal.
During a press briefing on June 10, 2026, Dieye stated that the money has been distributed to verified victims through a transparent process involving local committees. She emphasized that the government is committed to ensuring all eligible individuals receive their due compensation.
The allocation covers medical expenses, loss of property, and other damages suffered during the protests and conflicts in those years. The minister urged victims who have not yet received funds to contact the relevant authorities.
