When talking about the difficulties, children and families in El Salvador are talking about urgency.
Issues such as domestic violence, violence in society, and extreme poverty, added to the effects of the pandemic in this country, make the responses to be highly urgent at the national and international levels; in addition to that, an inter-institutional collective action must be sought and well-articulated to build solutions that improve the situation in the medium term, inspiring lasting changes through joint work, city by city in direct care and the promotion of good treatment and comprehensive protection for children and adolescents.
A factor that, although not directly determined, exacerbates the vulnerability of children and adolescents to having their rights violated, is poverty.
According to the EHPM 2013, although the level of income poverty has decreased in recent years, it still affects 34.8% of households. But the most striking thing is the infantilization of poverty, since in households with only members over 18 years of age the incidence is 30%, while in households with members under 18 years of age the incidence is 43.7%.
