T h e p r o m o t i o n o f a h u m a n r i g h t s c u l t u r e i s a s t r a t e g i c o b j e c t i v e o f t h e n a t i o n a l a u t h o r i t i e s i n P e r u . O n t h e 10th of December 2014, the Ministry of Justice (MINJUS) approved the National Plan for Education in Fundamental Rights and Duties until 2021. The Plan objective is “to develop within the Peruvian society a culture of rights and duties which should allow for the common value of the respect for human dignity and of all the elements this respect entails”. The National Program regarding Legal Education for Social Inclusion – Pronelis is the Peruvian national Human Rights Education and promotion program, created in 2007, whose aim is the education of the population in human rights, targeting mainly vulnerable groups. The Ministry of Justice and Human Rights – MINJUS elaborates an Annual Activity Plan of the National Program regarding legal education for social inclusion.

In order to achieve its aim and objectives, the Pronelis team develops a strategy which includes the training and certification of lawyers and law students, who carry out activities as promoters of human rights. The target public that Pronelis trains is classified in: leaders and members of social organizations and; secondary school students from public educational institutions. The local governments and educational institutions work together in this.

Between 2015 and 2016, Pronelis certified a total number of 288 new promoters with whom it developed: (1) a process to strengthen judicial and pedagogical competences (11 certification workshops in 7 regions), (2) visits in the regions in the framework of the updated Follow-up and Monitoring Plan (6 monitoring visits) and (3) follow-up to the training programs

by the promoters, through permanent communication using the social networks, phone calls, e-mails, etc.

This strategy has enabled Pronelis team to rely on a total of 40 active promoters since 2016, whose pedagogical competences were developed so they could train primary school students in order to comply with the first stage of the World Programme for Human Rights Education. So, the “pronelists” have carried out and recorded 84 trainings, reaching 2156 students from public educational institutions in the provinces of Huaura, Lima, Apurimac, Cusco, Ico, Arequipa and Huaraz.

For Pronelis to also reach leaders and members of social organizations dealing with vulnerable groups, the Pronelis team made up of two specialists carried out 18 trainings within local governments, attended by 796 members of social organizations involved in such programs as “the glass of milk”, “popular dining-rooms”; adult organizations, citizen security organizations, advocates and promoters of DEMUNAs, who have participated in debates and talks on human rights, equality and non-discrimination, children’s and adolescents’ rights, domestic violence, ethics, democracy and citizenship.

For 2017 the Pronelis Annual Plan intends to modify its strategy, reorganizing its activities taking into account the institutional objectives of the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights and the national plans on human rights, such as the National Human Rights Plan (PNDDHH) and the National Plan for Education in Fundamental Rights and Duties (PNEDDF). In order to comply with the World Programme for Human Rights Education, it also intends to include activities targeting teaching staff and public servants. The alignment of Pronelis with the institutional strategic and political objectives in the field of justice brings clarity to the objectives of the Program, being in line with the aims and principles of MINJUS. The Pronelis has as its main aim the promotion and dissemination of human rights so that people have better access to justice.

Pronelis contributes to the achievement of two strategic objectives:

- As a human rights training program, Pronelis contributes to the achievement of “a transversal approach of human rights in public institutions and society”. Citizens are informed on the protection of their human rights in a clear and precise way. The program seeks to make the whole population aware of their rights and provides guidance on protection and report mechanisms when their rights are violated through the organisation of 10 training activities. - PRONELIS also contributes to the “strengthening of people’s respect for the law”, which is measured with two indicators which are meant to measure the impact of the knowledge related to fundamental rights and duties and to measure the number of people that this knowledge is transmitted to by certified “pronelists”. The first indicator refers to the percentage of school children with satisfactory results in the evaluation regarding the knowledge of fundamental rights and duties. Measurements of the impact of PRONELIS reveal that over 50% of students trained by PRONELIS pass the examination. The second indicator refers to the number of school children trained in fundamental duties and democratic values by PRONELIS. It seeks to promote the internalization of

the fulfilment of fundamental rights and duties by training teaching staff, so that they can afterwards replicate what they have learned in the classroom. It is expected to reach 60 active “pronelists” who are to perform the 3 modules included in the training, with an average attendance of 25 school children, reaching a number of 1000 trained people.

In order to measure the realization of these indicators, Pronelis conducts evaluations of the students who have been trained by the “pronelists” by using follow-up and monitoring sheets. Each “pronelist” who carries-out at least one training per semester, is considered an active “pronelist”. In 2016 Pronelis counted on 40 active “pronelists”, hoping to reach 60 in 2017.

In this context, strengthening of human rights awareness is also achieved through training programs for public servants, targeting particularly employees of the Public Defence, Free Legal Assistance and Extrajudicial Conciliation services. In that regard, Pronelis has delivered training materials to the Public Defence offices in Ayacucho and Tarapoto. In both regions, the Public Defence departments have staff qualified in law, social assistance, psychology and medicine and are in charge of developing massive campaigns from the multiple services offices, so it is necessary to develop their competences in areas such as human rights, gender, interculturality, but also in pedagogy and methodological strategies. These trained people will carry out campaigns in coordination with the “pronelists” of the regions. A virtual platform for the implementation of distance human rights education programs has been developed.

At the level of the official curriculum of basic education, human rights are to be found as an aspect of the competences to be developed, but there are no contents and methodologies to develop this aspect.

There are NGOs which implement projects including human rights education activities, addressed to teaching staff and other social actors (youth, parents, indigenous communities). IPEDEHP is one of these organizations - www.ipedehp.org.pe

Young people in Peru

Due to the multicultural and multilingual characteristics of Peru, one can’t speak of youth in a general way, but of youths, considering the ethnic background: 58% mixed background, 23% Quechua, 5% Aymaras, and a smaller percentage of natives from the Amazonia, Blacks, Chinese, Japanese, and 5% White.

According to the First National Survey of Peruvian Youth, (ENAJUV, 2012) from 8 million 250 young people, approximately 5 million were working, 405,000 were unemployed, and 2.8 million were inactive. Only 42% of young people only worked; 23% only studied and 19% studied and worked. Something crucial to be mentioned is that an important amount of young people didn’t work nor study, (16%).

According to the National Survey of Homes, by the National Statistics Institute (INEI- 2011), approximately 20% of young people working had a health insurance, and only 34.2% declared that they had signed a labour contract, most of them for less than a year. With reference to salaries, the average at that moment was approximately USD 213.
