What happens to children and adolescents when their lives are shaped by displacement, violence, and resistance?
In collaboration with Ayuda en Acción, we conducted a participatory situational assessment of the human rights of children and adolescents. This analysis included factors such as gender-based violence (GBV), discrimination, vulnerability, and the resilience of girls and adolescents in contexts of human mobility in the Department of La Unión, El Salvador.
This study incorporates a methodology that includes participatory tools and a perception survey targeting children, adolescents, and their families. The goal is to obtain precise and contextualized information that can guide more effective protection strategies, co-created with the migrant children in these localities.
Protecting the rights of children and adolescents in situations of mobility has been a central part of our projects, and this assessment represents a key opportunity to deepen that commitment based on evidence.
