La educación social como una forma de intervención ante la vulneración de los derechos humanos de niñas, niños y adolescentes

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the social problem of the violation of the human rights of children and adolescents and how social education contributes to generating social change and transformation. In Mexico and other Latin American countries, a scenario of annulment, violation, or limitation of their rights prevails. Historically, this group has been discriminated against due to their minority status, reflecting the precariousness and lack of institutional mechanisms for their protection. To address this situation, reports from the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the National Human Rights Commission (CNDH), and the Network for the Rights of Children in Mexico (REDIM) are included. Likewise, social education is revisited as a form of intervention that contributes to the empowerment and leadership that children and adolescents can undertake to generate changes in their social environment and in the relationships they establish with adults.
Keywords: social education, social work, human rights, childhood, adolescence.
