We work so that children with disabilities, and indigenous children have access to relevant education according to their needs and culture. Child Rights Governance: we work with national, regional and local governments seeking to ensure compliance with children’s rights, demand and monitor more and better investment, and promote the active participation of children, adolescents and their organizations in the process of creating laws and policies. Protection: we protect children and adolescents from all forms of violence and exploitation by strengthening the violence protection system. One of our main objectives is to promote that the law banning physical and humiliating punishment is disseminated and implemented.
